What is the correct factorisation of ( 64m^3-125n^3 )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ( (4m-5n)(16m^2+20mn+25n^2) )

The direct answer is A: \(64m^3-125n^3=(4m-5n)(16m^2+20mn+25n^2)\). First recognise \(64m^3=(4m)^3\) and \(125n^3=(5n)^3\). Use the difference-of-cubes identity \(a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)\). Put \(a=4m\) and \(b=5n\). Then the factorisation is \((4m-5n)((4m)^2+(4m)(5n)+(5n)^2)\), which becomes \((4m-5n)(16m^2+20mn+25n^2)\). Option A is exactly this result. Option B uses the sum-of-cubes pattern and would represent \((4m)^3+(5n)^3\), not a difference. Option C has incorrect cube roots: \(8m\) cubed is \(512m^3\), not \(64m^3\), and its second factor is also wrong. Option D means \((4m-5n)^3\), which creates extra terms and is not the same as a simple difference of cubes. Memory cue: for \(a^3-b^3\), use “minus outside, all plus inside.”
