factoring being discussed and
introduced to you?
 If you are given
what type of factoring can
be applied?
What are the factors of ?
 If given this kind of polynomial or , can we
find the factor using greatest common
monomial factor or difference of two squares?
Why?
FACTORING THE SUM
OR DIFFERENCE OF
TWO CUBES
- Find the factors of the sum or difference of
two cubes;
