In a technical design scenario, you are simplifying a formula for the area of a specialized component represented by the expression ${}4a^5b - 64ab$. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to factor this expression completely.

A quality assurance technician is reviewing a software algorithm that calculates the structural tolerance of a manufactured metal beam. The original equation includes the polynomial expression ${}4a^5b - 64ab$. To optimize the software's processing speed, the technician needs to replace the expression with its completely factored form. Which of the following represents the correct completely factored form that the technician should input?

A quality assurance supervisor is verifying the mathematical breakdown of a material stress formula, ${}4a^5b - 64ab$, for a new technical manual. Match each mathematical component of the factoring process with its correct value as described in the simplification steps.

A manufacturing technician is simplifying the expression ${}4a^5b - 64ab$ to model the stress on a specialized component. During the factoring process, the technician reaches the form ${}4ab(a - 2)(a + 2)(a^2 + 4)$. True or False: This expression is considered 'completely factored' over the set of real numbers because the binomial $(a^2 + 4)$ cannot be factored further.
