$64 x^{3} + y^{3}$

Step 1

Rewrite $64 x^{3}$ as ${(4 x)}^{3}$ .

${(4 x)}^{3} + y^{3}$

Step 2

Since both terms are perfect cubes, factor using the sum of cubes formula, $a^{3} + b^{3} = (a + b) (a^{2} - a b + b^{2})$ where $a = 4 x$ and $b = y$ .

$(4 x + y) ({(4 x)}^{2} - (4 x) y + y^{2})$

Step 3

Step 3.1

Apply the product rule to $4 x$ .

$(4 x + y) (4^{2} x^{2} - (4 x) y + y^{2})$

Step 3.2

Raise $4$ to the power of $2$ .

$(4 x + y) (16 x^{2} - (4 x) y + y^{2})$

Step 3.3

Multiply $4$ by $- 1$ .

$(4 x + y) (16 x^{2} - 4 x y + y^{2})$
