Solution

The correct factorization of the given polynomial 64x^3 + 125 is A.(4x + 5)(16x^2 - 20x + 25).

Here's how you can factorize it:

The given polynomial is a sum of cubes. The sum of cubes formula is a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2).

In the given polynomial 64x^3 + 125, you can rewrite it as (4x)^3 + 5^3.

So, a = 4x and b = 5.

Substitute a and b into the sum of cubes formula, you get (4x + 5)((4x)^2 - 4x*5 + 5^2) = (4x + 5)(16x^2 - 20x + 25).

So, the correct answer is B.(4x + 5)(16x^2 - 20x + 25).
