Question:

Simplify the given expression.

(5x + 8y) (25x2 + 64y2 - 40xy)

Options:

125x3 - 512y3

25x3 + 64y3

125x3 + 512y3

25x3 - 64y3

Correct Answer:

125x3 + 512y3

Explanation:

(a³ + b³) = (a + b)(a² + b² - ab)

= (5x + 8y) (25x2 + 64y2 - 40xy)

= (5x + 8y)[(5x)² + (8x)² - 8 × 5 xy]

= (5x)³ + (8y)³

= 125x³ + 512y³
