Question

how do factor a^3+125 using the difference of two cubes

Answer 1

it is not the difference of two cubes,it is the sum of two cubes
\[a^2+b^2=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)\] put
\[a=a, b=5\]

Answer 2

Technically, it can be a difference:
\[a^3+125=a^3-(-5)^3\]
but that's just semantics.

Answer 5

yes it is

Answer 6

I need to show the steps of getting that answer
