1)
x^3 + 125  =  x^3 + 5^3
                 =  (x + 5)(x^2 - 5x + 25)
 
2)
a^3 + 64  =  a^3 + 4^3
               =  (a + 4)(a^2 - 4a + 16)
 
3)
x^3 − 64  =  x^3 - 4^3
               =  (x - 4)(x^2 + 4x + 16)
 
4)
u^3 + 8  =  u^3 + 2^3
              =  (u + 2)(u^2 - 2u + 4)
Answer :
1)  x^3 + 125  =  (x + 5)(x^2 - 5x + 25)
2)  a^3 + 64  =  (a + 4)(a^2 - 4a + 16)
3)  x^3 − 64  =  (x - 4)(x^2 + 4x + 16)
4)  u^3 + 8  =  (u + 2)(u^2 - 2u + 4).
