Simplification or other simple resultsStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
 1.1      Factoring:  x3-1 
 Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes,  a3 - b3  can be factored into
              (a-b) • (a2 +ab +b2)
Proof :  (a-b)•(a2+ab+b2) =
            a3+a2b+ab2-ba2-b2a-b3 =
            a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)-b3 =
            a3+0+0-b3 =
            a3-b3
Check :  1  is the cube of   1 
Check :  x3 is the cube of   x1
Factorization is :
             (x - 1)  •  (x2 + x + 1) 
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
 1.2     Factoring  x2 + x + 1 
 The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .
The middle term is,  +x  its coefficient is  1 .
The last term, "the constant", is  +1 
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 1 = 1 
Step-2 : Find two factors of  1  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   1 .
| -1 | + | -1 | = | -2 | ||
| 1 | + | 1 | = | 2 | 
Observation : No two such factors can be found !! 
 Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored 
Final result :
  (x - 1) • (x2 + x + 1)
