Which number is both a perfect square and a perfect cube?

• 64

• 27

• 81

• 16

Identify if the expression can be factored as sum or difference of cubes:

3x³ + 24

• No

• Yes

• Yes, getting GCF first

• It is a sum of squares

What is ALWAYS the first step when factoring?

• Look for the GCF

• Write a, b, and c

• Difference of squares

• Use the X-Puzzle

Factor completely.

49x² + 16

• ( 7x + 4 ) ( 7x - 4 )

• ( 7x + 4 ) ( 7x + 4 )

• ( 7x - 4 ) ²

• cannot be factored (SUM of squares)
