Factoring Sums and Differences of Cubes (Introduction)

This factoring tutorial video explains factoring sums and differences of cubes. We show you how to recognize a sum of two cubes and a difference of two cubes, and we discuss how to use the formula to factor sum of cubes and factor difference of cubes, using the same formula for both but assigning the signs in the factors using the SOAP method. We work one of each type in this introduction video--working one example of factoring sum of cubes and factoring difference of cubes.
