Question
Factorize the following expressions:
125 + 8x3 - 27y3 + 90xy

Answer

125 + 8x3 - 27y3 + 90xy
= 53 + (2x)3 + (-3y)3 - 3 × 5 × 2x × (-3y)
= (5 + 2x + (-3y))(52 + (2x)2 + (-3y)2 - 5(2x) - 2x(-3y) - (-3y)5)
= (5 + 2x + -3y)(25 + 4x2 + 9y2 - 10x + 6xy + 15y)
$\therefore$ 125 + 8x3 - 27y3 + 90xy
= (5 + 2x + -3y)(25 + 4x2 + 9y2 - 10x + 6xy + 15y)
