If $ a+2 b=5; $ then show that : $ a^{3}+8 b^{3}+30 a b=125 $.


Given,

\( a+2 b=5 ; \)

We have to show that 

\( a^{3}+8 b^{3}+30 a b=125 \)

\( a+2 b=5 \)

Cubing both sides:

\( (a+2 b)^{3}=(5)^{3} \)

\( \Rightarrow a^{3}+(2 b)^{3}+\{3 a \times 2 b(a+2 b)\}=(5)^{3} \)

\( \Rightarrow a^{3}+8 b^{3}+6 a b(a+2 b)=125 \)

\( \Rightarrow a^{3}+8 b^{3}+6 a b(5)=125 \)

\( ( \) as, \( \quad a+2 b=5) \)

\( \Rightarrow a^{3}+8 b^{3}+30 a b=125 \)
