Question
Evaluate:
(28)3 + (-15)3 + (-13)3

Answer

(28)3 + (-15)3 + (-13)3
We know:
x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - zx)
x3 + y3 + z3 = (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - zx) + 3xyz
Here, x = (-28), y = -15, z = -13
(28)3 + (-15)3 + (-13)3
= (28 - 15 - 13)[(28)2 + (-15)2 + (-13)2 - 28(-15) - (-15)(-13) - 28(-13)] + 3 × 28(-15)(-13)
= 0 + 16380
= 16380
