How to find the zeros of a polynomial using the sum of two cubes

The video tutorial covers the process of factoring expressions, starting with identifying the greatest common factor (GCF) and using the sum of cubes formula. It then moves on to simplifying the factored form and solving equations using the zero product property. The tutorial also explains how to handle non-factorable equations using the quadratic formula and discusses complex solutions, emphasizing the difference between real and complex solutions in terms of x-intercepts.
