Q. Factor 64+125a3 64+125 a^{3} completely.\newlineAnswer:
  1. Recognize as sum of cubes: Recognize the expression as a sum of two cubes. The given expression is 64+125a364 + 125a^{3}. We can rewrite 6464 as (4)3(4)^{3} and 125a3125a^{3} as (5a)3(5a)^{3}. This allows us to express the given sum as a sum of cubes: (4)3+(5a)3(4)^{3} + (5a)^{3}.
  2. Apply sum of cubes formula: Apply the sum of cubes formula.\newlineThe sum of cubes formula is a3+b3=(a+b)(a2ab+b2)a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2). We will apply this formula to our expression where a=4a = 4 and b=5ab = 5a.
  3. Substitute values: Substitute the values into the sum of cubes formula.\newlineUsing the values a=4a = 4 and b=5ab = 5a, we get the factorization (4+5a)((4)2(4)(5a)+(5a)2)(4 + 5a)((4)^2 - (4)(5a) + (5a)^2).
  4. Simplify factors: Simplify the factors.\newlineNow we simplify each factor:\newlineFirst factor: (4+5a)(4 + 5a) remains the same.\newlineSecond factor: (4)2(4)(5a)+(5a)2(4)^2 - (4)(5a) + (5a)^2 simplifies to 1620a+25a216 - 20a + 25a^2.
  5. Write final factorization: Write the final factorization.\newlineThe complete factorization of the expression is (4+5a)(1620a+25a2)(4 + 5a)(16 - 20a + 25a^2).
