$64 t^{6} - 1$

Step 1

Rewrite $64 t^{6}$ as ${(4 t^{2})}^{3}$ .

${(4 t^{2})}^{3} - 1$

Step 2

Rewrite $1$ as $1^{3}$ .

${(4 t^{2})}^{3} - 1^{3}$

Step 3

Since both terms are perfect cubes, factor using the difference of cubes formula, $a^{3} - b^{3} = (a - b) (a^{2} + a b + b^{2})$ where $a = 4 t^{2}$ and $b = 1$ .

$(4 t^{2} - 1) ({(4 t^{2})}^{2} + 4 t^{2} \cdot 1 + 1^{2})$
