Factor a^3+b^3

Problem

a3+b3

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a sum of two cubes, which follows the specific algebraic identity x3+y3=(x+y)*(x2−x*y+y2)

2. Determine the base terms for the formula, where x=a and y=b

3. Substitute the terms into the sum of cubes pattern to obtain the factored form.

Final Answer

a3+b3=(a+b)*(a2−a*b+b2)
