Answer

Given,

(a2 + b2 + c2) = 50

(ab + bc + ca) = 47

Using identity,

⇒ (a + b + c)2 = (a2 + b2 + c2) + 2 (ab + bc + ca)

⇒ (a + b + c)2 = (50) + 2 (47)

⇒ (a + b + c)2 = 50 + 94

⇒ (a + b + c)2 = 144

⇒ (a + b + c) = 144\sqrt{144}

⇒ (a + b + c) = ±12\pm 12

Hence, (a + b + c) = ±12\pm 12.

#### Question 34 If (a2 + b2 + c2) = 89 and (ab - bc - ca) = 16, find the value of (a + b - c).

Answer

Given,

(a2 + b2 + c2) = 89

(ab - bc - ca) = 16

Using identity,

⇒ (a + b - c)2 = (a2 + b2 + c2) + 2 (ab - bc - ca)

⇒ (a + b - c)2 = (89) + 2 (16)

⇒ (a + b - c)2 = 89 + 32

⇒ (a + b - c)2 = 121

⇒ (a + b - c) = 121\sqrt{121}

⇒ (a + b - c) = ±11\pm 11

Hence, (a + b - c) = ±11\pm 11.
