A. [tex][tex]$(4g + 2)(16g^2 + 8g - 4)$[/tex][/tex]

B. [tex][tex]$(4g + 2)(16g^2 - 8g - 4)$[/tex][/tex]

C. [tex][tex]$(4g + 2)(16g^2 + 8g + 4)$[/tex][/tex]

D. [tex][tex]$(4g + 2)(16g^2 - 8g + 4)$[/tex][/tex]



Answer :

To factor the expression [tex]\(64 g^3 + 8\)[/tex], we start by looking for a common factor in each term. Notice that both terms, [tex]\(64 g^3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(8\)[/tex], can be divided by 8. Therefore, we factor out 8 first:

[tex]\[ 64 g^3 + 8 = 8 (8 g^3 + 1) \][/tex]

Next, we recognize that [tex]\(8 g^3 + 1\)[/tex] can be treated as a sum of cubes. Recall the sum of cubes formula:

[tex]\[ a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) \][/tex]

In our case, [tex]\(8 g^3 = (2g)^3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(1 = 1^3\)[/tex]. So we can rewrite the expression as:

[tex]\[ 8 g^3 + 1 = (2g)^3 + 1^3 \][/tex]

Applying the sum of cubes formula, we get:

[tex]\[ (2g)^3 + 1^3 = (2g + 1) \left( (2g)^2 - (2g)(1) + 1^2 \right) \][/tex]

Now we simplify the components inside the parentheses:

[tex]\[ (2g)^2 = 4g^2 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (2g)(1) = 2g \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 1^2 = 1 \][/tex]

Putting it all together, the sum of cubes factors into:

[tex]\[ (2g + 1)(4g^2 - 2g + 1) \][/tex]

So the original expression can be factored as:

[tex]\[ 8 (8 g^3 + 1) = 8 (2g + 1)(4g^2 - 2g + 1) \][/tex]

This means the factored form of [tex]\(64 g^3 + 8\)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[ 8 (2g + 1)(4g^2 - 2g + 1) \][/tex]

Reviewing the given options:

1. [tex]\((4 g+2)\left(16 g^2+8 g-4\right)\)[/tex]
2. [tex]\((4 g+2)\left(16 g^2-8 g-4\right)\)[/tex]
3. [tex]\((4 g+2)\left(16 g^2+8 g+4\right)\)[/tex]
4. [tex]\((4 g+2)\left(16 g^2-8 g+4\right)\)[/tex]

None of these options directly match our factored form. Notice, however, that each factor inside these options can be written differently, but result still matches algebraically. Let's align properly;
Comparing [tex]\((4 g+2)\)[/tex] with [tex]\(2(2g+1)\)[/tex] and [tex]\(8\)[/tex] factored from our complete solution.
