The substitution y 3 = x 3 t y^3 = x^3 t gives 0 1 ( x 3 + y 3 ) 3 d y = 1 3 x 8 0 t 2 3 ( 1 + t ) 3 d t = 1 3 x 8 B ( 1 3 , 8 3 ) , \int_0^\infty \frac{1}{(x^3 + y^3)^3}\,dy \; = \; \frac{1}{3x^8}\int_0^\infty \frac{t^{-\frac23}}{(1 + t)^3}\,dt \; = \; \frac{1}{3x^8}B(\tfrac13,\tfrac83) \;, for any x > 0 x > 0 , so the double integral is 1 3 B ( 1 3 , 8 3 ) 1 x 8 d x = 1 21 B ( 1 3 , 8 3 ) = 10 π 3 567 , \tfrac13B(\tfrac13,\tfrac83)\int_1^\infty x^{-8}\,dx \; = \; \tfrac{1}{21}B(\tfrac13,\tfrac83) \; = \; \frac{10\pi \sqrt{3}}{567} \;, making the answer 10 + 3 + 567 = 580 10 + 3 + 567 \,=\, \boxed{580} .
