Question:

If x+y+z = 7

x2 + y2 + z2 = 85

x3 + y3 + z3 = 913

then \(\sqrt[3]{xyz}-4\) is equal to:

Options:

4

2

0

8

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

(x+y+z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2(xy +yz+zx)

49 = 85 + 2(xy +yz+zx)

xy +yz+zx = -18

x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (x+y+z) (x2 + y2 + z- xy - yz - zx)

913 - 3xyz = (7)(85 -(-18))

3xyz = 192

xyz = 64

\(\sqrt[3]{xyz}-4\) = \(\sqrt[3]{64}-4\) = 0
