Solution and Explanation

(i) It is known that, 

(x + y)3 = x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y)

x3 + y3 = (x + y)3 - 3xy (x + y) 

= (x + y) [(x + y)2 - 3xy] 

= (x + y) (x2 + y2 + 2xy - 3xy) 

= (x + y) (x2 + y2 - xy) 

= (x + y) (x2 - xy + y2)


(ii) It is known that, 

(x - y)3 = x3 - y3 - 3xy (x - y)

x3 - y3 = (x - y)3 + 3xy (x - y) 

= (x - y) [(x - y)2 + 3xy] 

= (x - y) (x2 + y2 - 2xy + 3xy) 

= (x - y) (x2 + y2 + xy) 

= (x - y) (x2 + xy + y2).
