Answer:
2 (x - 5) (x^2 + 5 x + 25)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
2 x^3 - 250
Factor 2 out of 2 x^3 - 250:
2 (x^3 - 125)
x^3 - 125 = x^3 - 5^3:
2 (x^3 - 5^3)
Factor the difference of two cubes. x^3 - 5^3 = (x - 5) (x^2 + x 5 + 5^2):
2 (x - 5) (x^2 + 5 x + 5^2)
5^2 = 25:
Answer: 2 (x - 5) (x^2 + 5 x + 25)
