<s>[INST] How I can find the value of $abc$ using the given equations? If I have been given the value of 
$$\begin{align*}
a+b+c&= 1\\
a^2+b^2+c^2&=9\\
a^3+b^3+c^3 &= 1
\end{align*}$$
Using this I can get the value of 
$$ab+bc+ca$$
How i can find the value of $abc$ using the given equations?
I just need a hint.
I have tried by squaring the equations.
But could not get it.
Thanks in advance.
 [/INST] If $a,b,c$ solve the equation $x^3+mx^2+nx+p=0$ then you know that $S_3+mS_2+nS_1+3p=0$, where $S_i=a^i+b^i+c^i$. From the sum you find who $m$ is. The expression of $n$ is $ab+bc+ca$. You can find $p$ substituting all the values in the equation. Then you can find the product, which is $-p$ and eventually solve the equation.

Alternatively, you can find the product using the formula
$$a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc=(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca) $$
