Factor out a 3 from each term, then use the difference of cubes formula

$3(v^3-64)$

remember that

$a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)$

3. so what is the answer? because that isnt factored completely

use the formula he gave you, you want to learn how to do it not just get the answer.

5. i did that much already. I dont see how to completly fctor it out

6. $3V^3-192=3(V^3-64)=3(V^3-4^3)=?$
use this :
and finish this by yourself.

7. Forgive me if I am incorrect. Not completely sure with factorising but I chanced upon this.

Without using the $4^3$ but using the technique showed I got

$3v^3-192=...$then $(3v-64)(3v^2+(3v*64)+64^2)$

this is incorrect. you need think against.

9. Probably because I didn't account for the $4^3$

Can you account for my mistake?

I'll try again

then

$3v^3-192=....$then $(3v-4^3)(3v^2+(3v4^3)+4^6)$

You have been told exactly what to do. Go back. Read post #2. For your question, what is a? What is b? Substitute. Get the answer.

11. Finally?

$\Rightarrow 3v^3-192$

$3v^9-64^9 \Rightarrow = (3v^3-64^3)(3v^6+3v^3(-64^3)-64^6)$

How can this possibly be correct!? Do what I said in post #8. Show all your working - every single step, starting with what is a and what is b.

13. 3v^3-192

^^^
original

a= $3v^3$
b= $-192$

$a^3=3v^3x^3=^9$, final answer is $3v^9 = a^3$
$b^3=-192^3$

$3v^9-192^3=(3v^3-192)(3v^6+(3v^3x(-192))-192^2)$

14. Sorry for the x's, I do not know how to input multiplication

ok that's ok this is problem. i need help you

firstt this you the the number 192 you can you use calculator to see $192=3*4^3$
and change this into the $3v^3-192$so you have $3v^3- 3*4^3$ $\Longrightarrow 3(v^3-4^3)$
remember you have
so $a=v, b=4$
yoou can find this when you change into the
