Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with

(1) a+b+c = 3

(2) a^2+b^2+c^2 = 5

(3) a^3+b^3+c^3 = 7

And we want to find the numerical value of

   a^4+b^4+c^4 = ?

I first noticed that I could get an expression including the required  

terms a^4, b^4, and c^4 by multiplying together either equations (1)  

and (3) above, or by multiplying equation (2) above by itself. I  

actually started down both paths more or less in parallel and chose  

the latter path when it appeared to hold more promise than the former.

So we have

  (a^2+b^2+c^2)^2 = (a^4+b^4+c^4)+2(a^2b^2+a^2c^2+b^2c^2)

and so

  (a^4+b^4+c^4) = (a^2+b^2+c^2)^2 - 2(a^2b^2+a^2c^2+b^2c^2)

Then, substituting from equation (2), we have

(4) (a^4+b^4+c^4) = 25 - 2(a^2b^2+a^2c^2+b^2c^2)

Now, to get a numerical value for (a^4+b^4+c^4), we need to evaluate  

the expression

  (a^2b^2+a^2c^2+b^2c^2)

After some pondering, I determined that I could obtain an expression  

including these terms by squaring the expression

  (ab+ac+bc)

and that, in turn, I could obtain an expression including these terms  

by squaring the given equation (1).

Note that I had no idea at this point whether this approach would lead  

to expressions that I could evaluate using equations (1), (2), and (3)  

- but, as you will see, it works out very nicely.

  (a+b+c)^2 = (a^2+b^2+c^2)+2(ab+ac+bc)

and so

  (ab+ac+bc) = [(a+b+c)^2 - (a^2+b^2+c^2)]/2

Then, substituting from equations (1) and (2), we have

(5)  (ab+ac+bc) = (9-5)/2 = 2

Next

  (ab+ac+bc)^2 = (a^2b^2+a^2c^2+b^2c^2)+2(a^2bc+ab^2c+abc^2)

and so

  (a^2b^2+a^2c^2+b^2c^2) = (ab+ac+bc)^2 - 2(a^2bc+ab^2c+abc^2)

                         = (ab+ac+bc)^2 - 2abc(a+b+c)

Then, substituting from equations (1) and (5), we have

(6)  (a^2b^2+a^2c^2+b^2c^2) = 2^2 - 2abc(3) = 4 - 6abc

And substituting (6) in (4), we now have

   (a^4+b^4+c^4) = 25 - 2(4 - 6abc)

or

(7) (a^4+b^4+c^4) = 17 + 12abc

So now we can evaluate the desired expression (a^4+b^4+c^4) if we can  

evaluate the expression abc.

When I got to this point, I realized I could get an expression  

involving the term abc by multiplying equation (1) by itself three  

times....

  (a+b+c)^3 = (a+b+c)(a+b+c)^2

            = (a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2ac+2bc)

            = a^3+ ab^2+ ac^2+2a^2b+2a^2c+2abc

                             + a^2b      +2abc+b^3+ bc^2+2b^2c

                 +2ab^2+2ac^2      + a^2c+2abc    +2bc^2+ b^2c+c^3

             -----------------------------------------------------

            = a^3+3ab^2+3ac^2+3a^2b+3a^2c+6abc+b^3+3bc^2+3b^2c+c^3

            = (a^3+b^3+c^3)+3(ab^2+ac^2+a^2b+bc^2+a^2c+b^2c)+6abc

and so

  6abc = (a+b+c)^3 - (a^3+b^3+c^3) - 3(ab^2+ac^2+a^2b+bc^2+a^2c+b^2c)

Looking at this, I first tried grouping some terms...

6abc = (a+b+c)^3 - (a^3+b^3+c^3) - 3[a(b^2+c^2)+b(a^2+c^2)+c(a^2+b^2)]

and then, after some examination of this expression, I saw that I  

could get clever by adding and subtracting 3(a^3+b^3+c^3) to the  

expression on the right:

  6abc = (a+b+c)^3 - (a^3+b^3+c^3) + 3(a^3+b^3+c^3)

         - 3[a(b^2+c^2)+b(a^2+c^2)+c(a^2+b^2)] - 3(a^3+b^3+c^3)

  6abc = (a+b+c)^3 + 2(a^3+b^3+c^3)

         - 3[a(a^2+b^2+c^2)+b(a^2+b^2+c^2)+c(a^2+b^2+c^2)]

(8) 6abc = (a+b+c)^3 + 2(a^3+b^3+c^3)

         - 3(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2)

Substituting from equations (1), (2), and (3), we have

  6abc = 3^3 + 2(7) - 3(3)(5) = 27 + 14 - 45 = -4

and so

(9)  abc = -4/6 = -2/3

Then, finally, substituting this in equation (7), we have

  (a^4+b^4+c^4) = 17 + 12abc = 17 + 12(-2/3) = 17-8

and we finally have our result:

   a^4+b^4+c^4 = 9

********************************************

After going through the algebra for your particular case, I went back  

and worked out the general case:

(1)       a+b+c = x

(2) a^2+b^2+c^2 = y

(3) a^3+b^3+c^3 = z

I will spare you the details of the algebra for this general case (if  

you really love algebra, you might want to try to work it through for  

yourself). I came up with the following expression for a^4+b^4+c^4:

 a^4+b^4+c^4 = y^2 - 2[((x^2-y)/2)^2 - (x^4-3x^2y+2xz)/3]

I checked this result using the values from your problem. With x=3,  

y=5, and z=7, we get

 a^4+b^4+c^4 = 25 - 2[((9-5)/2)^2 - (3^4-3(3^2)(5)+2(3)(7))/3]

             = 25 - 2[4 - (81-135+42)/3]

             = 25 - 2[4 - (-12/3)]

             = 25 - 2(4+4)

             = 25 - 2(8)

             = 25 - 16

             = 9
