Question
Without actually calculating the cubes, find the value of the following:
(–12)3 + (7)3 + (5)3
Advertisements
Solution
(–12)3 + (7)3 + (5)3
Let x = −12, y = 7 and z = 5
It can be observed that,
x + y + z = − 12 + 7 + 5 = 0
It is known that if x + y + z = 0, then
x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz
∴ (–12)3 + (7)3 + (5)3
= 3[(–12)(7)(5)]
= 3[–420]
= –1260
