Factor x^3-27 - MathMaster

$x^{3} - 27$

Rewrite $27$ as $3^{3}$ .

$x^{3} - 3^{3}$

Since both terms are perfect cubes, factor using the difference of cubes formula, $a^{3} - b^{3} = (a - b) (a^{2} + a b + b^{2})$ where $a = x$ and $b = 3$ .

$(x - 3) (x^{2} + x \cdot 3 + 3^{2})$

Simplify.

Tap for more steps…

Move $3$ to the left of $x$ .

$(x - 3) (x^{2} + 3 x + 3^{2})$

Raise $3$ to the power of $2$ .

$(x - 3) (x^{2} + 3 x + 9)$
