a 3 + b 3 + c 3 3 a b c = ( a + b + c ) ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 a b b c c a ) {a}^{3}+{b}^{3}+{c}^{3}-3abc= (a+b+c)({a}^{2}+{b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-ab-bc-ca)

Here, a + b + c = 0 a+b+c=0

Hence, RHS=0

Answer 0 \boxed {0}

Bonus question: Is the following equation true?

a 4 + b 4 + c 4 + d 4 4 a b c d = ( a + b + c + d ) ( a 3 + b 3 + c 3 + d 3 a b c a b d a c d b c d ) a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4-4abcd=(a+b+c+d)(a^3+b^3+c^3+d^3-abc-abd-acd-bcd)

if a+b+c=0 then a^3+b^3+c^3=3abc

If a+b+c=0, then a^3+b^3+c^3=3abc And according to qustn a+b+c=0 therefore using above eqn answer is 0
