Question

How do you factor `x^9 - y^3z^5`?

Answer 1

There is no meaningful way to factor this.

Explanation:

At the moment, this expression is as factored as it is going to get.

However, if the question were to factor `x^9-y^3z^6`, it could be factored as a difference of cubes:

`x^9-y^3z^6=(x^3-yz^2)(x^6+x^3yz^2+y^2z^4)`
