Which of the following expressions is a difference of two cubes and can be factorised using the relevant identity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x³ − 8y³

Correct answer: A, x³ − 8y³. A difference of cubes has the form a³ − b³. Rewrite 8y³ as (2y)³. Thus x³ − 8y³ = x³ − (2y)³, where a = x and b = 2y. Using a³ − b³ = (a − b)(a² + ab + b²), the factorisation is (x − 2y)(x² + 2xy + 4y²). Option A has exactly the required subtraction and both terms are perfect cubes. Option B is a sum of cubes, not a difference; it would use a³ + b³. Option C contains squares, not cubes, and belongs to the difference-of-squares pattern. Option D has 4y³, but 4 is not a perfect cube, so it is not immediately a difference of two cubes in the required form. Memory cue: first check the sign, then check whether each coefficient is a perfect cube.
