Answer
(i) x3 + y3 = (x + y) (x2 - xy + y2)
R.H.S
= (x + y) (x2 - xy + y2)
= (x)(x2 - xy + y2) + (y)(x2 - xy + y2)
= x3 - x2y + xy2 + yx2 - xy2 + y3
= x3 + y3
Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S
(ii) x3 - y3 = (x - y) (x2 + xy + y2)
R.H.S
= (x - y) (x2 + xy + y2)
= (x)(x2 + xy + y2) - (y)(x2 + xy + y2)
= x3 + x2y + xy2 - yx2 - xy2 - y3
= x3 - y3
Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S
