Question 665017: I need to factor x to the 6th minus y to the 6th two different ways. I know to use the difference of squares and the difference of cubes but I need to see the solution. Thank you in advance. Answer by kevwill(135) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Using the difference of squares:
Each of these terms can be factored using the sum of cubes formula and the difference of cubes formula, so
Using the difference of cubes:
The first term can be factored using the difference of squares formula:
And if you deduced that can be factored into you'd be correct, so
