if a+b+c= 2.ab+bc+ca=-3 and abc=-2.find the value of a³+b³+c³.
Answers
GIVEN,
a+b+c=2 _1
ab+bc+ca=-1 _2
abc=-1 _3
FIND,
++
SOLUTION,
Squaring both side of eq. 1,
=> (a + b + c)² = (2)²
=> a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca = 4
=> a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca) = 4
=> a² + b² + c² + 2(-1) = 4
=> a² + b² + c² - 2 = 4
=> a² + b² + c² = 4 + 2
=> a² + b² + c² = 6
=> a³ + b³ + c³ - 3abc = (a + b + c) (a² + b² + c² - ab - bc - ca)
=> a³ + b³ + c³ - 3abc = (a + b + c) [a² + b² + c² - (ab + bc + ca)]
=> a³ + b³ + c³ - 3(-2) = (2) [6 - (-1)]
=> a³ + b³ + c³ + 6 = 2(6 + 1)
=> a³ + b³ + c³ + 6 = 2(7)
=> a³ + b³ + c³ + 6 = 14
=> a³ + b³ + c³ = 14 - 6
a³ + b³ + c³ = 7
