2(8x
3 + y
3) Factor out the GCF.
8x
3 and y
3 are both perfect cubes, so we can factor the sum of the two cubes.
(8x
3 + y
3) = (2x)3 + (y)3 (2x)3 = 8x
3; (y)3 = y

Solve Polynomial Functions by Factoring
GEOMETRY Determine the dimensions of the cubes below if the length of the smaller cube is one half the length of the larger cube, and the volume of the shaded figure is 23,625 cubic centimeters.
Solve Polynomial Functions by Factoring
Since the length of the smaller cube is half the length of the larger cube, then their lengths can be represented by x and 2x, respectively. The volume of the object equals the volume of the larger cube minus the volume of the smaller cube.
Volume of object
Subtract.
Divide.
