Let x, y, and z be nonzero real numbers, such that no two are equal, and 

 

\(x + \frac{1}{y} = y + \frac{1}{z} = z + \frac{1}{x}.\)

 

Find all possible values of xyz.

By symmetry, x = y = z.  So the possible values of xyz are 8 and -8.

how do you know that x = y = z?

It says that no two are equal, so how can \(x=y=z\)?
