64a%5E3-27b%5E3 Start with the given expression.


%284a%29%5E3-%283b%29%5E3 Rewrite 64a%5E3 as %284a%29%5E3. Rewrite 27b%5E3 as %283b%29%5E3.


%284a-3b%29%28%284a%29%5E2%2B%284a%29%283b%29%2B%283b%29%5E2%29 Now factor by using the difference of cubes formula. Remember the difference of cubes formula is A%5E3-B%5E3=%28A-B%29%28A%5E2%2BAB%2BB%5E2%29


%284a-3b%29%2816a%5E2%2B12ab%2B9b%5E2%29 Multiply

-----------------------------------
Answer:
So 64a%5E3-27b%5E3 factors to %284a-3b%29%2816a%5E2%2B12ab%2B9b%5E2%29.

In other words, 64a%5E3-27b%5E3=%284a-3b%29%2816a%5E2%2B12ab%2B9b%5E2%29


So the answer is D)
