Factor completely:

What cubed is 27?
Answer; 3 cubed is 27, written
What cubed is
?
Don't know? Then break it down.
8 is 2 cubed and
is t cubed.
So write it this way
Now the first part of the factorization is to write
the above down without the exponents:
But take away the two inner parentheses and just make it
The other parentheses will contain three terms, gotten this way:
Term 1: Square the 3, get 9
Term 2: Multiply the 3 by the 2t, getting 6t and change the sign, getting -6t
Term 3: Square the (2t) getting
So the final factored form is:
