Difference of squares

The result of subtracting one square from another, expressed as $a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)$.

Sum of cubes

The expression representing the sum of two cubes is $x^3 + y^3 = (x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2)$.

Factoring $x^3 - y^3$

The value of $x^3 - y^3$ can be calculated with $x=2$, $y=1$, yielding $7$.

Factoring $a^2 + b^2$

The expression $a^2 + b^2$ cannot be factored over the reals.
