Question
Factorize : $x^3-64 y^3$
✓
Answer
x³ – 64y³
= x³ – (4y)³
Here, a = x and b = 4y
∴ x³ – 64y³ = (x – 4y)[x² + x(4y) + (4y)²]
…[∵ a³ – b³ = (a – b)(a² + ab + b²)]
= (x – 4y)(x² + 4xy + 16y²)
= x³ – (4y)³
Here, a = x and b = 4y
∴ x³ – 64y³ = (x – 4y)[x² + x(4y) + (4y)²]
…[∵ a³ – b³ = (a – b)(a² + ab + b²)]
= (x – 4y)(x² + 4xy + 16y²)
