Factoring Perfect Squares and Cubes

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:   x³ + 1

• (x + 1)³

• (x+1)(x² - x + 1)

• (x - 1) (x² + x - 1)

• (x + 1)(x² - 2x + 1)

Factor: 8x³ - 1

• (2x - 1)(4x² + 2x + 1)

• (2x + 1)(4x² - 2x + 1)

• (2x - 1)(4x² - 2x - 1)

• (2x + 1)(4x² +2x + 1)

Factor
27x³-64

• (3x-4)(9x²+12x+16)

• (3x-4)(9x²-12x+16)

• (3x+4)(9x²-12x+16)

• (3x+4)(9x²+12x+16)

Fully Factor the Following
8x³-27

• (2x+3)(4x²-6x+9)

• (2x-3)(4x²+6x+9)

• (2x-3)(4x²+6x-9)

• (2x-3)(2x²+6x+9)

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

WHAT FACTORING TECHNIQUE YOU HAVE TO USE TO SOLVE FOR THE FACTORS OF 27X³-343?
