Factor x^3+y^3

Problem

x3+y3

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a sum of two cubes, which follows the specific algebraic form a3+b3

2. Apply the formula for the sum of cubes, which states a3+b3=(a+b)*(a2−a*b+b2)

3. Substitute x for a and y for b into the formula to obtain the factored form.

Final Answer

x3+y3=(x+y)*(x2−x*y+y2)
