Practicing Success
If x + y = 5 and $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y} = \frac{20}{9}$, then the value of $(x^3 + y^3)$ will be : |
$\frac{205}{4}$ $\frac{635}{8}$ $\frac{635}{4}$ $\frac{365}{4}$ |
$\frac{365}{4}$ |
We know that, If x + y = n then, $x^3 + y^3$ = n3 - 3 × n × xy If x + y = 5 $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y} = \frac{20}{9}$, then the value of $(x^3 + y^3)$= ? Solving $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y} = \frac{20}{9}$ $\frac{y + x}{xy} = \frac{20}{9}$, = $\frac{5}{xy} = \frac{20}{9}$, xy = \(\frac{9}{4}\) then, $x^3 + y^3$ = 53 - 3 × 5 × \(\frac{9}{4}\) = 125 - \(\frac{135}{4}\) = $\frac{365}{4}$ |
