Q12 of 90 Page 33

Calculate using appropriate algebraic identity:

(30)3 + (20)3 + (– 50)3

Here, (x + y + z) = (30 + 20 – 50) = 0

Now, using the identity:


If x + y + z = 0, then x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz


⇒ (30)3 + (20)3 + (– 50)3 = 3(30)(20)(– 50)


= – 90000

Verify that:

27a3 + b3 + c3 – 9abc = (3a + b + c)[3a2 + b2 + c2 – 3ab – bc – 3ac]

Calculate using appropriate algebraic identity:

(– 15)3 + (28)3 + (– 13)3


[Hint: Use the identity : If x + y + z = 0 the x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz]
