Question

Without actually calculating the cubes, find the value of the following:

(28)3 + (–15)3 + (–13)3

Sum

Solution

(28)3 + (–15)3 + (–13)3

Let x = 28, y = −15 and z = −13

It can be observed that,

x + y + z = 28 + (−15) + (−13)

= 28 − 28

= 0

It is known that if x + y + z = 0, then

x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz

∴ (28)3 + (–15)3 + (–13)3

= 3(28)(–15)(–13)

= 16380
