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).

which of the following is the equation of a line parallel to the line y = -x + 1, passing through the point (4,1)
fomenos

Answer:

A. x + y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the equation is equal for parallel lines,

; Slope = (-1)

;Use the formula

(y - y(coordinate of the given point)) = slope × [(x - x(coordinate of the given point)]

; y - 1 = (-1)(x - 4)

; y - 1 = -x + 4...then move the variable (x) to the left hand side and then move (-1) to the right hand side

; x + y = 4 + 1

; Hence,

; x + y = 5
