Xét: ab + bc + ca = 12a+b+c2−a2+b2+c2=12.32−29=−10

Suy ra: a²b² + b²c² + c²a² = (ab + bc + ca)² – 2abc(a + b + c) = (-10)² – 2.11.3 = 34

 a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ca) = 3.(29 + 10) = 117

Suy ra: a³ + b³ + c³ = 150

Xét a⁵ + b⁵ + c⁵ = (a³ + b³ + c³)(a² + b² + c²) – [( a²b² + b²c² + c²a²)(a + b + c) – abc(ab + ac + bc) = 150.29 – [(34.3 – 11.(-10)] = 4138.

Vậy a⁵ + b⁵ + c⁵ = 4138.
