Question 201145
(1) A + B = 3,,,,,,,,B=(3-A)
(2) A^3 + B^3 =36
.
A^3 + (3-A)^3 =36
.
side  problem (3-A)^3 = (3-A) (3-A)(3-A)
(3-A) ( 9-6A +A^2)
27 -27A +9A^2 -A^3
.
subst  in
.
A^3 +(27 -27A +9A^2 -A^3) =36
9A^2 -27A -9 =0
9(A^2 -3A -1) =0
(A^2 -3A -1) =0
.
To  factor  use  quadratic  eqn
.
a=1,,,,,b=-3,,,,,c=-1
.
A =[ -(-3) +/- sqrt((-3)^2 - 4 (1)(-1)] / 2(1)
.
A= [3 +/- sqrt{ 9+4} ]/2
.
A= [3 +/- 3.6]/2
.
A= 3.3, -.3,,,,,
.
B= 3-3.3 =-.3,,,,or  B= 3-(-.3) = 3.3
.
( A^2 +B^2) - AB =?
.
{ (3.3)^2 +(-.3)^2 } - (3.3)(-.3) = ?
.
11+10 = ?
.
