If a + b + c = 9 and ab + bc + ca = 18, then the value of $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc$ is: |
243 254 234 244 |
243 |
If x + y = n then, $x^3 + y^3$ = n3 - 3 × n × xy If a + b + c = 9 ab + bc + ca = 18 Then the value of $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc$ = ? If the number of equations are less than the number of variables then we can put the extra variables according to our choice = So here two equations given and three variables are present so put c = 0 If a + b = 9 ab = 18 Then the value of $a^3 + b^3$ = 93 - 3 × 9 × 18 $a^3 + b^3$ = 729 - 486 = 243 |
