Question

If x + y + z = 0, show that x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz.

Sum

Solution

Since, x + y + z = 0

= x + y = −z(x + y)3 = (−z)3

= x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y) = (−z)3

= x3 + y3 + 3xy(−z) = −z3             ...[∵ x + y = −z]

= x3 + y3 − 3xyz = (−z)3

= x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz

Hence, if x + y + z = 0, then

x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz
