Sum and Difference of Cubes

Factor this sum of cubes:

2x³ + 128

• 2(x³ + 64)

• (x + 4)(x² - 4x + 16)

• 2(x - 4)(x² + 4x + 16)

• 2(x + 4)(x² - 4x + 16)

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

• No

• Yes

• Yes, getting GCF first

• It is a sum of squares

Complete the formula
a³-b³=

• (a-b)(a²+ab+b²)

• (a+b)(a²-ab+b²)

• (a-b)(a²-ab+b²)

• (a+b)(a²+ab+b²)

Complete the formula

a³+b³=

• (a-b)(a²+ab+b²)

• (a+b)(a²-ab+b²)

• (a-b)(a²-ab+b²)

• (a+b)(a²+ab+b²)

Factor using differencesum/ of cubes.  (use your notes!)
a³ + b³

• (a-b)(a²+ab+b²)

• (a+b)(a²-ab+b²)

• (a-b)(a²-ab+b²)

• (a+b)(a²+ab+b²)
