is it -4(x+6) . my firend got that answer. didnt tell me how to do it tho
Directrix (directrix):
x^6-64 = (x^3)^2 - (8)^2 = ( x^3 + 8) * (x^3 - 8)
That is the factorization into 2 squares.
Directrix (directrix):
>>is it -4(x+6) NO
Directrix (directrix):
Factor x^6-64 as difference of 2 cubes.
Factoring pattern is attached.

im going to try the cube and see what i get

x--4(x^3+4x+16)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think
Directrix (directrix):
x^6-64 = [ (x^2)^3 - (4)^3) ]
= [ x^2 - 4 ] * [ (x^2)^2 + (x^2)*4) + (-4)^2 ]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(x-4)(x^2+4x+4^2)
Directrix (directrix):
[ x^2 - 4 ] * [ (x^2)^2 + (x^2)*4) + (-4)^2 ] =
(x^2 -4) (x^4 + 4x^2 + 16)

okay i see what i did wrong . i dont know where i got a 3 from. thank you for the help . both of you
Directrix (directrix):
I am uncertain about the instructions.
Taking it from the top:
x^6-64 = (x^3)^2 - (8)^2 =
( x^3 + 8) * (x^3 - 8) =
(x + 2) ( x^2 -2x + 4) (x - 2) (x^2 + 2x + 4)
Directrix (directrix):
You are welcome.
