x^{3} + 125

$x^{3} + 125$

Step 1

Rewrite

125

$125$ as

5^{3}

$5^{3}$ .

x^{3} + 5^{3}

$x^{3} + 5^{3}$

Step 2

Since both terms are perfect cubes, factor using the sum of cubes formula,

a^{3} + b^{3} = (a + b) (a^{2} - a b + b^{2})

$a^{3} + b^{3} = (a + b) (a^{2} - a b + b^{2})$ where

a = x

$a = x$ and

b = 5

$b = 5$ .

(x + 5) (x^{2} - x \cdot 5 + 5^{2})

$(x + 5) (x^{2} - x \cdot 5 + 5^{2})$

Step 3

Step 3.1

Multiply

5

$5$ by

- 1

$- 1$ .

(x + 5) (x^{2} - 5 x + 5^{2})

$(x + 5) (x^{2} - 5 x + 5^{2})$

Step 3.2

Raise

5

$5$ to the power of

2

$2$ .

(x + 5) (x^{2} - 5 x + 25)

$(x + 5) (x^{2} - 5 x + 25)$

(x + 5) (x^{2} - 5 x + 25)

$(x + 5) (x^{2} - 5 x + 25)$
