Quiz Friday, Feb 5, 2016 on these plus remembering basic quadratic factoring!
Practice with difference and sum of cubes
Practice with difference of squares
How do you factor difference of squares, difference of cubes and sum of cubes?
First: when you see two terms and a degree of 2 or 3, think to use ds, dc, or sc.
Second: what is the degree? If 2, then use ds. If 3, ds or dc.
