When a polynomial is 1 + a^3 how do I factorise it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not sure but I thought it was (1+a) ( 1 + a + a^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u r right just a liitle typo ( 1 - a + a^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because we know that\[x^3+y^3=(x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2)\]
