Step 5.1.1

Multiply $- 5$ by $3$ .

$(x^{3} - 15 x^{2} + 3 x {(- 5)}^{2} + {(- 5)}^{3}) \sqrt{x - 5}$

Step 5.1.2

Raise $- 5$ to the power of $2$ .

$(x^{3} - 15 x^{2} + 3 x \cdot 25 + {(- 5)}^{3}) \sqrt{x - 5}$

Step 5.1.3

Multiply $25$ by $3$ .

$(x^{3} - 15 x^{2} + 75 x + {(- 5)}^{3}) \sqrt{x - 5}$

Step 5.1.4

Raise $- 5$ to the power of $3$ .

$(x^{3} - 15 x^{2} + 75 x - 125) \sqrt{x - 5}$

Step 5.2

Apply the distributive property.

$x^{3} \sqrt{x - 5} - 15 x^{2} \sqrt{x - 5} + 75 x \sqrt{x - 5} - 125 \sqrt{x - 5}$
