Factor completely. 1. x⁶-y⁶
(x–y)(x+y)(x²+xy+y²)(x²–xy+y²)

2. 2a⁷-128a
2a(a–2)(a+2)(a²+2a+4)(a²–2a+4)

Please answer both with all steps and reasons behind them. I am trying to learn math from a book and I don't understand these two questions.
For 1, I end up with (x+y)(x–y)[x²y²(x²+y²)], which is obviously incorrect from the answer above.
For 2, I end up with 2a(a³+8)(a³–8) and can't figure how to go from there.
Please help. The chapter is on polynomials and factoring, factoring special products, with lessons on perfect square trinomials, the difference of two squares, and the sum and differnece of two cubes.​

1. is 4 and 2. is 3

step-by-step explanation:

so if you look at the first one you see that 1 is to 4 and 2 is to 8 and so on, so you can see for every 1 there is a times 4 so if it were 3 then it would be 3*4 and it is 12

for number 2 it is 3 because 1 is to 3 and 2 is to 6 so for every 1 there is 3 so if it were 3 then there would be 3*3 = 9

step-by-step explanation:

(0,,,0)

step-by-step explanation:

the table of x and y values is shown in the attached pic(part of question)

we have to decide according that graph

given points are (0, 0) (–1, 0), (2, 0)

when we graph these points on graph they show an increasing line as shown in the attached pic
