Sum and Difference of Two Cubes

Question 1 • (OC27) ALG 2-1200330-S1-Degele-VOL7006P

Which expressions are perfect cubes?

Answer
A
–1,000
B
27r21
C
343p
D
g3h30
E
–1

Explanation

A perfect cube has a numerical factor that is a cube and variable exponents that are multiples of 3. Since −1,000 = (−10)³, choice A is a perfect cube. Also, 27r²¹ = (3r⁷)³, g³h³⁰ = (gh¹⁰)³, and −1 = (−1)³, so B, D, and E qualify. In 343p, the exponent of p is 1, not a multiple of 3, so C is not a perfect cube.
