Question

if a + b + C is equal to 5 and a b + BC + CA is equal to 10 prove that a cube plus b cube plus c cube minus 3 a b is equal to minus 25

Answer 1

your problem is solved

Answer 2

we know ,

a³ + b³ + c³ -3abc = (a + b + c )(a² + b² + c² -ab -bc-ca)

now ,

a + b + c = 5
ab + bc + ca = 10

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² +2(ab + bc+ca)
(5)² -2×10 = a² + b² + c²
a² + b² + c² =5

hence ,

a³ + b³ +c³ -3abc = ( a + b + c )(a² + b² + c² -ab- bc-ca)

=( 5)( 5 - 10) = 5 × (-5) = -25

hence proved//
