confused   Factoring
It's amazing how the higher up in math you go, simple problems such as factoring will fade away almost instantly.

I need to factor this...

x^3-27

...and I haven't the slightest idea on how to get started.

I know the answer is...

(x-3)(x^2+3x+9)

...but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get from a to b.

Ugh...is math really this frustrating? Please help!
