Solution
Given \[\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^3 + \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^3 - \left( \frac{5}{6} \right)^3\]
We shall use the identity `a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (a+b+c) (a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - ab - ca)`
Let Take `a= 1/2 , b= 1/3, c= - 5/ 6`
`a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (a+b+c) (a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - ab - ca)`
`a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = (a+b+c) (a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - ab - ca) + 3abc`
`a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = (1/2 + 1/3 - 5/6)(a^2 +b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca)+3abc`
Applying least common multiple we get,
`a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = (1/2 + 1/3 - 5/6)(a^2 +b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca)+3abc`
`a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = ((1xx6)/(2xx6) + (1xx4)/(3xx 4) - 5/6)(a^2 +b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca)+3abc`
`a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = (6/12 + 4/12 - 10/12)(a^2 +b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca)+3abc `
`a^3 + b^3 + c^3 =0 (a^2 +b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca)+3abc`
`a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = +3abc`
`(1/2)^3 + (1/3)^3 - (5/6)^3 = 3 xx 1/2 xx 1/3 xx - 5/6`
` = 3 xx 1/2 xx 1/3 xx -5/6`
` = -5/12`
Hence the value of \[\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^3 + \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^3 - \left( \frac{5}{6} \right)^3\]is`-5/12`.
