Which of the following represents the factored form of f(x) = x^3 − 64x? f(x) = x(x + 8)(x − 8) f(x) = (x − 8)(x + 8) f(x) = x(x − 8)^2 f(x) = x(x^2 − 8)

@Hero

OpenStudy (brodybarnes35):

FAN AND MEDAL

OpenStudy (brodybarnes35):

idk :/ thats embarrassing wow

OpenStudy (brodybarnes35):

OpenStudy (brodybarnes35):

OpenStudy (brodybarnes35):

???

hero (hero):

@brodybarnes35, what happens to the expression after you factor out the x?

OpenStudy (brodybarnes35):

so its either a or b right

OpenStudy (brodybarnes35):

idk @hero

OpenStudy (brodybarnes35):

a or b right @mehek14 @hero ?

@Mehek14 ???

OpenStudy (brodybarnes35):

o ok :/

OpenStudy (brodybarnes35):

@Nnesha can you help?

Nnesha (nnesha):

first find GCF(greatest common factor ) so there is x common in both terms right ? now take out the x from x^3 and -64x or in other words divide both terms by common factor \[\rm x^3-64x=x(???-???)\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1439937064914:dw| divide both terms by common factor and write your answer in the parentheses.
