How do I factor 125x^3+8

Mathematics
1 answer:
xeze [42]3 years ago

Step 1 :

53x3 - 8
Step 2 :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:

2.1 Factoring: 125x3-8

Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes, a3 - b3 can be factored into
(a-b) • (a2 +ab +b2)

Proof : (a-b)•(a2+ab+b2) =
a3+a2b+ab2-ba2-b2a-b3 =
a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)-b3 =
a3+0+0+b3 =
a3+b3

Check : 125 is the cube of 5

Check : 8 is the cube of 2
Check : x3 is the cube of x1

Factorization is :
(5x - 2) • (25x2 + 10x + 4)

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.2 Factoring 25x2 + 10x + 4

The first term is, 25x2 its coefficient is 25 .
The middle term is, +10x its coefficient is 10 .
The last term, "the constant", is +4

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 25 • 4 = 100

Step-2 : Find two factors of 100 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 10 .

-100 + -1 = -101
-50 + -2 = -52
-25 + -4 = -29
-20 + -5 = -25
-10 + -10 = -20
-5 + -20 = -25

For tidiness, printing of 12 lines which failed to find two such factors, was suppressed

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

(5x - 2) • (25x2 + 10x + 4)

What is the equation of a line that passes through (4, 3) and has a slope of 2?
Savatey [412]
Passes through (4,3) slope = 2

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = 2(x - 4)
y - 3 = 2x - 8
y = 2x - 5

What is the absolute value of point P on the number line? A number line ranging from negative two to two, with intervals of one-
V125BC [204]
The absolute value is always positive:
For example, the absolute value of -5:  | - 5 | = 5 and also the absolute value of 5 : | 5 | = 5
P =  - 1 1/4
The absolute value of point P.
| P | =   | - 1 1/4 |   =   1 1/4

<h3>Answer: Approximately 6.4 units</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

The origin is the point (0,0)

Use the distance formula to find the distance from (0, 0) to (4, -5)

Let

(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)\\\\(x_2,y_2) = (4,-5)\\\\

be our two points. Plug those values into the distance formula below and use a calculator to compute

d = \sqrt{\left(x_1-x_2\right)^2+\left(y_1-y_2\right)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{\left(0-4\right)^2+\left(0-(-5)\right)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{\left(0-4\right)^2+\left(0+5\right)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2+\left(5\right)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{16+25}\\\\d = \sqrt{41} \ \text{ exact distance}\\\\d \approx 6.40312 \ \text{ approximate distance}\\\\d \approx 6.4\\\\

The distance between the two points (0,0) and (4,-5) is approximately 6.4 units.
