Question
Factor the expression
(4y−1)(16y2+4y+1)
Evaluate
64y3−1
Rewrite the expression in exponential form
(4y)3−13
Use a3−b3=(a−b)(a2+ab+b2) to factor the expression
(4y−1)((4y)2+4y×1+12)
Evaluate

Evaluate
(4y)2
To raise a product to a power,raise each factor to that power
42y2
Evaluate the power
16y2
(4y−1)(16y2+4y×1+12)
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
(4y−1)(16y2+4y+12)
Solution
(4y−1)(16y2+4y+1)

Find the roots
y=41
Alternative Form
y=0.25
Evaluate
64y3−1
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
64y3−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
64y3=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
64y3=1
Divide both sides
6464y3=641
Divide the numbers
y3=641
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3y3=3641
Calculate
y=3641
