Given, (542x3+243y3)÷(18x+12y)=Ax2+By2+Cxy We know that, a3+b3=(a+b)(a2+b2−ab) Then, [(32x)3+(23y)3]=[32x+23y][18x2+12y2−66xy] So, compare the equations (32x+23y)(32x+23y)(18x2+12y2−66xy)=Ax2+By2+Cxy⇒(18x2+12y2−66xy)=Ax2+By2+Cxy Comparing, we get A=18,B=12 and C=−66 So, A2−(B2+C2)=(18)2−[122+(−66)2]=324−360=−36A=18,B=12 and C=−66 So, A2−(B2+C2)
