t%5E3%2B125 Start with the given expression.


%28t%29%5E3%2B%285%29%5E3 Rewrite t%5E3 as %28t%29%5E3. Rewrite 125 as %285%29%5E3.


%28t%2B5%29%28%28t%29%5E2-%28t%29%285%29%2B%285%29%5E2%29 Now factor by using the sum of cubes formula. Remember the sum of cubes formula is A%5E3%2BB%5E3=%28A%2BB%29%28A%5E2-AB%2BB%5E2%29


%28t%2B5%29%28t%5E2-5t%2B25%29 Multiply
