    Factors of Sum or Difference of Two Cubes outlines how to factor expressions involving the sum or difference of two cubes. It provides the factoring identities x3 + y3 = (x + y)(x2 - xy + y2) and x3 - y3 = (x - y)(x2 + xy + y2). The steps are to get the cube root of each term, use the cube roots and the operation between the cubes to obtain a binomial factor, and form a trinomial factor by squaring the first cube root, multiplying the cube roots with the sign of the product opposite the operation, and squaring the second cube root. Examples of factoring expressions are provided.

    Factors of Sum or

    Difference of Two Cubes


    Shiela Mae C. Gatchalian,LPT
    Sum and Difference Two Cubes
    x3 + y3 = (x +y) (x2 – xy + y2)
    x3 - y3 = (x - y) (x2 + xy + y2)

    Steps in factoring the sum or difference of two cubes:


    1. Get the cube root of each cubed term.
    2. Taking the operation between the cubes, use the cube roots in step 1 to obtain a
    binomial factor.
    3. Form the trinomial factor as follows:
    a. Square the first cube root.
    b. Multiply the two cube roots. The sign of the product is opposite the sign between the
    cubes.
    c. Square the second cube root.
    27x3 + 64y3
    8x3 - 27
    x3 + 8
    x6 - 27
