Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,


(a^(3) - b^(3) )/((a - b)^(3) ) =
(73)/(3)

Let the equation be equal to zero.


(a^(3) - b^(3) )/((a - b)^(3) ) -
(73)/(3) = 0


((a - b) *(a^(2) + ab + b^(2)) )/((a - b)^(3) ) -
(73)/(3) = 0


((a^(2) + ab + b^(2)) )/((a - b)^(2) ) -
(73)/(3) = 0

Find the LCM,


((a^(2) + ab + b^(2) )* 3 -73*(a - b)^(2) )/(3*(a - b)^(2) ) = 0


(-70a^(2) + 149ab -70b^(2))/(3*(a^(2) -2ab + b^(2)) ) = 0

Factorizing the numerator and denominator gives,


((10b - 7a)*(10a - 7b))/(3*(a - b)^(2) ) = 0

Multiply through by the denominator to have,


((10b - 7a)*(10a - 7b))/(3*(a - b)^(2) ) × 3*
(a - b)^(2)= 0 × 3
(a - b)^(2)

⇒ (10b - 7a)*(10a - 7b) = 0

∴ -7a + 10b = 0 or -7b + 10a =

These gives the equation of a straight line; y = mx + b

Solving these equations graphically, we have;

For -7b + 10a = 0,

m = 1.429

a-intercept = 0.00000

b-intercept = -0.00000

For -7a + 10b = 0,

m = 0.700

a-intercept = -0.00000

b-intercept = 0.00000
