If $x+y=4$ and $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=\frac{16}{15}$, then what is the value of $\left(x^3+y^3\right) ?$
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
If x + y = n
then, $x^3 + y^3$ = n3 - 3 × n × xy
$x+y=4$
$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=\frac{16}{15}$,
Then what is the value of $\left(x^3+y^3\right) ?$
$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=\frac{16}{15}$,
\(\frac{x + y}{xy}\) = $\frac{16}{15}$
\(\frac{4}{xy}\) = $\frac{16}{15}$
xy = $\frac{15}{4}$
Then, $\left(x^3+y^3\right) $ = 43 - 3 × 4 × $\frac{15}{4}$]
$\left(x^3+y^3\right) $ = 64 - 45 = 19
