The factored form of an equation is done by rewriting the equation in simpler forms.

The completely factored form of $x^3 - 64x$ is $x(x-8)(x + 8)$

The expression is given as:

$x^3 - 64x$

Factor out x from the expression, $x^3 - 64x$

$x^3 - 64x = x(x^2-64)$

Express 64 as 8^2

$x^3 - 64x = x(x^2-8^2)$

Express the expression as a difference of two squares

$x^3 - 64x = x(x-8)(x + 8)$

Hence, the completely factored form of $x^3 - 64x$ is $x(x-8)(x + 8)$
