Note the binomial expansion,

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)³ = <em>a</em> ³ + 3<em>a</em> + 3/<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em> ³

so

<em>a</em> ³ + 1/<em>a</em> ³ = (<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)³ - 3 (<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)

Similarly,

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)² = <em>a</em> ² + 2 + 1/<em>a</em> ²

We're given <em>a</em> ² + 1/<em>a</em> ² = 79, so

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)² - 2 = 79

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)² = 81

<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em> = ±9

but <em>a</em> > 0, so we ignore the negative solution.

Then

<em>a</em> ³ + 1/<em>a</em> ³ = 9³ - 3×9 = 702
