Full solution

Q. Find the quadratic polynomial that completes the factorization. \newlinet3+1=(t+1)(_____)t^3 + 1 = (t + 1)(\_\_\_\_\_)
  1. Recognize as sum of cubes: To factor t3+1t^3 + 1, we recognize it as a sum of cubes, which factors as (t+1)(t2t+1)(t + 1)(t^2 - t + 1).
  2. Expand and check equality: Now we check if (t+1)(t2t+1)(t + 1)(t^2 - t + 1) equals t3+1t^3 + 1 by expanding the factors.\newline(t+1)(t2t+1)=t3t2+t+t2t+1=t3+1(t + 1)(t^2 - t + 1) = t^3 - t^2 + t + t^2 - t + 1 = t^3 + 1.
