AMC 12 2005b Problem 23

  • Paper

Let SS be the set of ordered triples (x,y,z)(x,y,z) of real numbers for which

log⁡10(x+y)=z and log⁡10(x2+y2)=z+1.\log_{10}(x+y) = z \text{ and } \log_{10}(x^{2}+y^{2}) = z+1. There are real numbers aa and bb such that for all ordered triples (x,y,z)(x,y,z) in SS we have x3+y3=a⋅103z+b⋅102z.x^{3}+y^{3}=a \cdot 10^{3z} + b \cdot 10^{2z}. What is the value of a+b?a+b?
