I need to factor (8x^3)-125

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8x^3 can be factored into (2x)(2x)(2x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the whole thing factored out though, is that a difference of squares equaling (2x-5)(4x^2+10x+25) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the identity a^3 - b^3 = (a -b)(a^2 - shoot - cant remember it - ill check it out
