(a) 27 (b) 64 (c) 9 (d) 1
Ans: (a)

11. If a\b + b\a =1, then the value of a3 + b3 will be
(a) -1 (b) 2 (c) 1 (d) 0

Sol: a\b + b\a =1
a2 + b2 – ab = 0
a3 + b3 = 0
12. If a + b + c = 6 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 14, what is the value of (a - b)2 + (b - c)2 + (c - a)2 ?
Sol: Consider the following algebraic identity.
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
Substitute a + b + c = 6 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 14.
(6)2 = 14 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
36 = 14 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
Subtract 14 from both sides.
22 = 2(ab + bc + ca)
Divide both sides by 2.
11 = ab + bc + ca
The value of (a - b)2 + (b - c)2 + (c - a)2 :
= (a - b)2 + (b - c)2 + (c - a)2
= a2 - 2ab + b2 + b2- 2bc + c2 + c2 - 2ca + a2
= a2 + a2 + b2 + b2 + c2 + c2 - 2ab - 2bc - 2ca
= 2a2 + 2b2 + 2c2- 2ab - 2bc - 2ca
= 2(a2 + b2 + c2) - 2(ab + bc + ca)
Substitute a2 + b2 + c2 = 14 and ab + bc + ca = 11.
= 2(14) - 2(11)
= 28 - 22

13. If x - y = 8 and xy = 5, what is the value of x3 - y3 + 8(x + y)2
Sol: Consider the square of a binomial given below.
(x - y)2 = x2 + y2 - 2xy
Substitute x - y = 8 and xy = 5.
6
82 = x2 + y2 - 2(5)
64 + 10 = x2 + y2
74 = x2 + y2
Consider the square of a binomial given below.
(x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy
Substitute x2 + y2 = 74 and xy = 5.
(x + y)2 = 74 + 2(5)
(x + y)2 = 74 + 10
(x + y)2 = 84
The value of x3 - y3 + 8(x + y)2 :
= x3 - y3 + 8(x + y)2
Use the identity a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2).
= (x - y)(x2 + xy + y2) + 8(x + y)2
Substitute.
= (8)(74 + 5) + 8(84)
= 8(79) + 672
= 632 + 672
= 1304
14. If a3 - b3 = 513 and a - b = 3, what is the value of ab?
Sol: a3 - b3 = 513
(a - b)3 + 3ab(a - b) = 513
Substitute a - b = 3.
33 + 3ab(3) = 513
27 + 9ab = 513
Subtract 27 from both sides.
9ab = 486
Divide both sides by 9.
ab = 54
