polynomial of the 5th degree, with two terms.
Distribute 4x^2(–2x^2 + 5x^3) to get –8x^2 + 20x^5. Reorder in standard form 20x^5-8x^4. 5 is the highest exponent so it is the 5th degree, there are two terms because terms are separated by a plus or minus.
Answer: Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "y3" was replaced by "y^3". 1 more similar replacement(s).

:
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes
2.1 Factoring: 8x2y3-5
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 : 8 is the cube of 2
Check : 5 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Final result :
8x2y3 - 5
I think you should try your best and just never get but just always keep trying because if you give up that means you're not track so just keep trying and get it right.
