If a2 + b2 = 14, and a + b = 4. Find a3 - b31. 14√32. 12√23. 30√34. 21√2

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 30√3

Given:

a2 + b2 = 14

a + b = 4

Formula Used:

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab

(a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab

a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + b2 + ab)

Calculation:

(4)2 = 14 + 2ab

⇒ 16 - 14 = 2ab

⇒ ab = 2/2 = 1

(a - b)2 = 14 - 2 × 1

⇒ (a - b) = 2√3

a3 - b3 = (2√3)(14 + 1)

⇒ a3 - b3 = 30√3

∴ The value of  a3 - b3 is 30√3.
