C = 8Formula:A3 + B3 + c3 – 3ABC = (a + b + c) (a2 + b2 + C2 – ab – bc – ca)Calculation:(a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc)/(ab + bc + ca – a2 – b2 – c2)⇒ (a + b + c) (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca)/[- (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca)]⇒ -(5 + 4 + 8)⇒ -17∴ The value of (a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc)/(ab + bc + ca – a2 – b2 – c2) is -17.
