SOLUTION: x^3-y^3+x^2-y^2 I am needing to factor this...I have the answer of (x^2-y^2)(1+xy) but I dont know if that's right I would think you could factor it on down...Let me know what I am

You can put this solution on YOUR website! x^3-y^3+x^2-y^2
-----
= [(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)]+[(x+y)(x-y)]
------
= (x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2+x+y)
----
= (x-y)(x^2 +xy + x + y + y^2)
