Question

Factor the following expression and include a second degree expression as a factor.16x³ + 54y^6

Answer 1

The expression given is,

`16x^3+54y^6`

Factor out common term 2:

`2\left(8x^3+27y^6\right)`

Then simplify the expression above by factorizing

`2\left(2x+3y^2\right)\left(4x^2-6xy^2+9y^4\right)`

Hence, the answer is

`2\left(2x+3y^2\right)\left(4x^2-6xy^2+9y^4\right)`
