Which expression is a perfect cube of a binomial and can therefore be factorised using a cube identity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(8x^3-36x^2y+54xy^2-27y^3\)

The correct answer is A. Use \((a-b)^3=a^3-3a^2b+3ab^2-b^3\). The first term \(8x^3\) is \((2x)^3\), and the last term \(-27y^3
a\) is \(-(3y)^3\). Put \(a=2x\) and \(b=3y\): \(-3a^2b=-3(4x^2)(3y)=-36x^2y\), while \(3ab^2=3(2x)(9y^2)=54xy^2\). Hence option A is \((2x-3y)^3\). Option B has the wrong sign for the second term, so it does not match either simple cube pattern. Option C has the wrong sign on the final term. Option D has incorrect coefficients in both middle terms. A useful check is that the coefficients 1, 3, 3, 1 appear with signs determined by the binomial. Memory cue: for \((a-b)^3\), the signs are minus, plus, minus after the first term.
