64y^3-125

8x^3+125

Please help me I do not understand.
Must done today.

Are both equations supposed to be set to zero???

they are factor complete or state that the polynomial is prime.

64y^3-125

8x^3+125

so help me please.

We can factor both the difference and the sum of 2 cubes

A^3 - B^3 = (A-B)(A^2 + AB + B^2)
A^3 + B^3 = (A+B)(A^2 - AB + B^2)

64y^3 - 125
= (4y-5)(16y^2 + 20y + 25)

you try the second one

8x^3+125=(4-5)(2x^2+20+25)

the problem is about factor complete, or state that the polynomial is prime.

could you check and see if I got it right.

To simplify the expressions and help you understand, let's break them down:

Expression 1: 64y^3 - 125

This expression is a difference of cubes. To simplify it, we can use the formula:

a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)

In expression 1, a = 4y and b = 5:

64y^3 - 125 = (4y - 5)(16y^2 + 20y + 25)

So, the simplified form of expression 1 is:

(4y - 5)(16y^2 + 20y + 25)

Expression 2: 8x^3 + 125

This expression can also be simplified as a sum of cubes. The formula for sum of cubes is:

a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)

In expression 2, a = 2x and b = 5:

8x^3 + 125 = (2x + 5)(4x^2 - 10x + 25)

So, the simplified form of expression 2 is:

(2x + 5)(4x^2 - 10x + 25)

Remember to always check if the expression can be factored further, and if necessary, simplify or factor using other applicable techniques.
