Factors of Sum or Difference of Two Cubes

The document discusses the factors of the sum and difference of two cubes. It provides examples of factoring expressions of the form a^3 + b^3 and a^3 - b^3. The document explains that a^3 + b^3 can be factored into (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) and a^3 - b^3 can be factored into (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2).
