Practicing Success
If x + y + z = 18, xyz = 81 and xy + yz + zx = 90, then the value of $ x^3 + y^3 +z^3 +xyz $ is : |
1321 1296 1225 1250 |
1296 |
x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (x + y + z)[(x + y + z)2 - 3(xy + yz + zx)] = x3 + y3 + z3 - 3 × 81 = 18[(18)2 - 3 × 90] = x3 + y3 + z3 - 243 = 18[324 - 270] = x3 + y3 + z3 = 18 × 54 + 243 = 1215 So, x3 + y3 + z3 + xyz = 1215 + 81 = 1296 |
