Learn how to use the difference of two cubes to simplify an expression

The video tutorial covers factoring with two terms, focusing on the difference of two squares and cubes. It explains how to identify if terms are square or cube numbers and how to factor them. The process of identifying variables A and B is detailed, leading to the derivation of the factored form.

What are the two main methods discussed for factoring two terms?

• Sum of two squares and GCF

• Difference of two cubes and GCF

• Difference of two squares and GCF

• Sum of two cubes and GCF

Why can't 8X cubed be factored using the difference of two squares?

• It is not a square number

• It is already factored

• It is not a cube number

• It has a common factor

What is the first step in factoring the difference of two cubes?

• Identify the square root

• Identify the cube root

• Find the GCF

• Use the quadratic formula

What is the value of A when factoring 8X cubed as a difference of cubes?

• 4X

• 2X

• 8X

• X

What is the final factored form of 8X cubed minus 1?

• (2X + 1)(4X^2 + 4X + 1)

• (2X - 1)(4X^2 - 4X + 1)

• (2X + 1)(4X^2 - 4X + 1)

• (2X - 1)(4X^2 + 4X + 1)
