when 8x^-3-64x is factored completely, one of the factors is?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

=8x(x^2-8) so either 8x or x^2 -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks , man you're good at this lol good job(: i wish i had that capability

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

just think of what they have in common both 8 and 64 are divisible by 8 and they both have an x anyway thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how you get x^2-8?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

by dividing each term by 8x \[\frac{8x^{3}}{8x} = x^{2}\] \[\frac{64x}{8x} = 8\]
