Anyone know how to factor this? x^3 + 8y^3

i've been working on it for like 30 minutes and still cant figure it out

Nudge:
1. x^3 = -8y^3
2. log()
3. Take it from there :D

i dont recall doing logs in factoring at all...just that crazy FOIL thing

Ever come across an assignment where the answer is "not possible" ?

[/quote]oh, those suck,

x^3 + 8y^3 =
= x^3 + (2y)^3 =
= (x+2y)(x^2 - 2xy + 4y^2)

no?
