b. 8x3+y6=(2x)3+(y2)3
=(2x+y2)(4x2-2xy2+y4)
c. x2-16+4xy+4y2=(x2+4xy+4y2)-16

a) x2 + 6x + 9 = x2 + 2 . x . 3 + 32 = (x + 3)2
b) 10x – 25 – x2 = -(-10x + 25 +x2) = -(25 – 10x + x2)
= -(52 – 2 . 5 . x – x2) = -(5 – x)2
c) 8x3 - 1/8 = (2x)3 – (1/2)3 = (2x - 1/2)[(2x)2 + 2x . 12 + (1/2)2]
= (2x - 1/2)(4x2 + x + 1/4)
d)1/25x2 – 64y2 = (1/5x)2(1/5x)2- (8y)2 = (1/5x + 8y)(1/5x - 8y)
