x^3 - 8 =x^3-2^3 = (x-2) (x^2 + 2x + 2^2)=(x-2) (x^2 + 2x + 4)\\ \\ \\a^3 - b^3 = (a - b) (a^2 + ab + b^2)

Answer: (x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to factor x³ - 8.

Notice that x³ is a perfect cube and 8 is a perfect cube because 8 is 2 × 2 × 2 or 2³. So we have the difference of two cubes.

To factor the difference of two cubes, we use the following formula.

a³ - b³ can be factored as (a - b)(a² + ab + b²) and in this problem, since a³ is represented by x³, the value of a is x and since b³ is represented by 8, the value of b is 2.

So substituting x and 2 into the formula for <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>, we have

[(x) - (2)][(x)² + (x)(2) + (2)²] and notice that we changed the parentheses in the formula to brackets so that we're not dealing with too many sets of parentheses.

Next, simplifying inside the second set of brackets and changing the brackets back to parentheses, we have (x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4) which is our final answer.

Que forma tiene un hexágono y como se entre si?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Al igual que los cuadrados y los triángulos equiláteros, los hexágonos regulares encajan sin ningún espacio para enlosar el plano (tres hexágonos se encuentran en cada vértice), por lo que son útiles para construir mosaicos.

You've got 3 values there.

Get the sum of 65, 30 and 25 and divide their sum by the number of values that exist, which in this case is 3.

\frac { 65+30+25 }{ 3 } =\frac { 120 }{ 3 } =40
