Factoring Sum and Difference of Cubes

The document asks the learner to observe patterns when factoring sums and differences of cubes, noting that factors of sums of cubes have alternating signs in the trinomial while differences of cubes have all positive terms, and to factor sample expressions completely using the process of taking the cube root of each term and forming a binomial and trinomial factor.

Can you still remember?

1. In each pair of factors, can you tell the relationship between


the first term in the binomial to the first term in the trinomial?
2. How about the second term in the binomial at the last term in
the trinomial?
3. To get the middle term of the trinomial, what will you do to the
terms in the binomial factor?
4. Do you observe any pattern between the factors and
product?
5. If we are only given these products, can you determine its
factors? How?
Lesson 3:

In this lesson, the learner is able to factor the Sum


and Difference of Two Cubes (M8ALla-b-1)
Sum or Difference of Two Cubes

A polynomial is a sum or
difference of two cubes if it
satisfies these two conditions.
►i. It is a binomial.  

►ii. Each term is a cube.


Things to Process

 
Steps in factoring the sum / difference of two cubes:
1. Get the cube root of each term.
2. Taking the operation between the cubes, obtain a binomial factor

b. Multiply the two cube roots.
c. Square the second cube root.
- For the sum of cubes, the terms of the trinomial have alternating
signs.
- For the difference of cubes, the terms of the trinomial are all positive.
