Factor z^3+64

Problem

z3+64

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a sum of two cubes, which follows the form a3+b3

2. Rewrite the constant 64 as a cube, which is 4

3. Apply the formula for the sum of cubes: a3+b3=(a+b)*(a2−a*b+b2)

4. Substitute a=z and b=4 into the formula.

5. Simplify the terms within the resulting quadratic factor.

Final Answer

z3+64=(z+4)*(z2−4*z+16)
