Question : If $a+b=1$, then $a^4+b^4-a^3-b^3-2a^2b^2+ab$ is equal to:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given: $a+b=1$ (equation 1)
We know that the algebraic identities are $(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab$, $(a^3+b^3)=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)$ and $(a^2-b^2)=(a+b)(a-b)$.
So, $a^4+b^4-2a^2b^2-a^3-b^3+ab$
$=(a^2-b^2)^2-(a^3+b^3)+ab$
$=(a+b)^2(a-b)^2-(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)+ab$
Substituting the value from equation 1 in the above expression we get,
$a^4+b^4-2a^2b^2-a^3-b^3+ab=(a-b)^2-a^2+ab-b^2+ab$
$=(a-b)^2-(a^2-2ab+b^2)$
$=(a-b)^2-(a-b)^2=0$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.

Question : If $(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}) = 0$ and $x+y+z = 9$, what is the value of $x^{3} + y^{3}+z^{3}-xyz$?

Option 1: 81

Option 2: 361

Option 3: 729

Option 4: 6561

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 729


Solution : Given: $\left ( \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z} \right )=0$
⇒ $xy + yz+zx = 0$
Given: $x+y+z = 9$
We know, $x^{3}+y^{3}+z^{3}-3xyz = \left ( x+y+z \right )\left ( x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}-xy-yz-zx \right )$
⇒ $x^{3}+y^{3}+z^{3}-3xyz = \left ( x+y+z \right )\left (\left ( x+y+z \right )^{2}-3\left ( xy+yz+zx \right
