    Question

    If x = 8.15, y = 9.06 and z = –17.21, then the value

    of x³ + y³ + z³ – 3xyz is:
    A -5.82 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1.01 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3.14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    x³ + y³ + z³ – 3xyz = (x+ y + z)/2[(x-y) ² +(y-z) ² +(z-a) ²] = {8.15+9.06+(-17.21)}/2[(x-y) +(y-z) +(z-a)] = (17.21 -17.21)/2[(x-y) +(y-z) +(z-a)] =0[(x-y) +(y-z) +(z-a)] =0
