The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( a^3 + b^3 + c^3 \) given that: \[ \frac{1 - a^3}{a} = \frac{1 - b^3}{b} = \frac{1 - c^3}{c} = k \] ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Set up the equations**: We start by letting: \[ \frac{1 - a^3}{a} = k \implies 1 - a^3 = ka \implies a^3 + ka - 1 = 0 \] Similarly, we can write the equations for \( b \) and \( c \): \[ b^3 + kb - 1 = 0 \] \[ c^3 + kc - 1 = 0 \] 2. **Form a polynomial**: Since \( a, b, c \) are the roots of the polynomial \( x^3 + kx - 1 = 0 \), we can denote this polynomial as: \[ P(x) = x^3 + kx - 1 \] 3. **Use Vieta's formulas**: By Vieta's formulas, for a cubic polynomial \( x^3 + px^2 + qx + r = 0 \): - The sum of the roots \( a + b + c = -p \) - The sum of the product of the roots taken two at a time \( ab + bc + ca = q \) - The product of the roots \( abc = -r \) In our case, since there is no \( x^2 \) term, we have: \[ a + b + c = 0 \] \[ ab + ac + bc = k \] \[ abc = 1 \] 4. **Find \( a^3 + b^3 + c^3 \)**: We can use the identity: \[ a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - ac - bc) \] Since \( a + b + c = 0 \), this simplifies to: \[ a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = 0 \] Therefore: \[ a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3abc \] 5. **Substitute the value of \( abc \)**: We know \( abc = 1 \), so: \[ a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3 \cdot 1 = 3 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( a^3 + b^3 + c^3 \) is \( \boxed{3} \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( a^3 + b^3 + c^3 \) given that: \[ \frac{1 - a^3}{a} = \frac{1 - b^3}{b} = \frac{1 - c^3}{c} = k \] ### Step-by-step Solution: ...
