factor (x^3+27)

OpenStudy (jackellyn):

These are the formulas to use for sum and difference of cubes a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 – ab + b^2) a^3 – b^3 = (a – b)(a^2 + ab + b^2) Which of the two are like your problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one

OpenStudy (jackellyn):

So you find the cube root of 27 and then substitute into the formula where they belong so a is x and b is cube root of 27 which is what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (jackellyn):

Exactly, good job @annej. So what is your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure

OpenStudy (jackellyn):

Substitute a with x and b with 3 in the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+3)(x^2-3x+9)

OpenStudy (jackellyn):

Good Job!
