How do I Factor 125x^3 -64 The answer is not (5x+4)(5x-4) or (5x-4)(25x^2 +15x+16)

The correct factorization would be (5x - 4)(25x^2 + 20x + 16).

The law of factoring cubes states that we use the following formula when we have two cubes being subtracted by one another.

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

If we take the cube root of 125x^3 we get 5x, which will be our a value. If we take the cube root of 64, we get 4, which will be our b value. Then we plug in to the formula.

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

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

I think the problem with your second answer is that you just did not properly multiply the 5x and the 4 to get 20x (instead you got 15x).

The lines shown below are perpendicular. If the green line has a slope of 2/5 what is the slope of the red line
Ksenya-84 [330]
In this item, we are not given with the figure but knowing that these lines ought to be perpendicular then we will be able to derive the relationship between the slopes of the line. 

The slopes of the perpendicular line are the negative reciprocals of one another. If we represent the slopes of the lines as m₁ and m₂, the relationship can be written in the form,
           (m₁)(m₂) = -1

We are given with one of the slopes. To determine the value of the second slope then,
            m₂ = -1/m₁
            m₂ = -1/(2/5)
            m₂ = -5/2

<em>ANSWER: m₂ = -5/2</em>
