3. Real numbers $a, b, c$ and $d$ satisfy the condition $a^{6}+b^{6}+c^{6}+d^{6}=64$. Find the maximum value of the expression $a^{7}+b^{7}+c^{7}+d^{7}$.
Answer: 128

Solution. By the condition $a^{6} \leqslant a^{6}+b^{6}+c^{6}+d^{6}=64$, therefore $a \leqslant 2$. Similarly, we get that $b \leqslant 2, c \leqslant 2$ and $d \leqslant 2$. Consequently,

$$
a^{7}+b^{7}+c^{7}+d^{7}=a \cdot a^{6}+b \cdot b^{6}+c \cdot c^{6}+d \cdot d^{6} \leqslant 2\left(a^{6}+b^{6}+c^{6}+d^{6}\right)=2 \cdot 64=128
$$

Equality is achieved when $a=2, b=c=d=0$. Therefore, $a^{7}+b^{7}+c^{7}+d^{7}$ does not exceed 128 and can be equal to it.
