How to factor special products?

Question

Can you tell me how to factor special products? 

Like this one- x^3+y^3

Answer 1

Also x^3 - Y^3 = (x - y) (x^2 +xy + y^2)

 

x^2 - y^2 = (x - y) (x + y)

 

these two should be memorized as well.

 

Answer 2

This is one of the General Forms that should be memorized:

 

x³ + y³ = (x + y)(x² - xy + y²)
