If M - N = -2 and M3 - N3 = -26, Find Mn.

If m - n = -2 and m³ - n³ = -26, find mn.

Sum

m - n = -2, m³ - n³ = -26
(m - n)³ = m³ - n³ - 3mn (m - n)
⇒ (-2)³ = -26 - 3mn (-2)
⇒ 6mn
= - 8 + 26
= 18
⇒ mn = 3.

(7 + m)³

Find the cube of : 5a + 3b

If `a + 1/a` = p and a ≠ 0; then show that:

`a^3 + 1/a^3 = p(p^2 - 3)`

If `3x - (1)/(3x) = 9`; find the value of `27x^3 - (1)/(27x^3)`.

If `"a"^2 + (1)/"a"^2 = 14`; find the value of `"a"^3 + (1)/"a"^3`

If `"m"^2 + (1)/"m"^2 = 51`; find the value of `"m"^3 - (1)/"m"^3`

If `"r" - (1)/"r" = 4`; find : `"r"^3 - (1)/"r"^3`

If a + 2b + c = 0; then show that a³ + 8b³ + c³ = 6abc

Evaluate the following :
(8.12)³ - (3.12)³

If `"a" + 1/"a"` = 6, then find the value of `"a"^3 + 1/"a"^3`
