How can I factor the following expression:
$$(a+3)^3$$
Please, step by step so I can learn.
As noted in the comments $(a+3)^3=(a+3)(a+3)(a+3)$ is already factored.
The expression in your comment is the factorization of a different binomial expression: $$ a^3+4^3=(a+4)(a^2-4a+4^2) $$
You can verify this identity simply multiplying the factors.
