If `3x + (1)/(x) = 6` , then find `9x^(2) + (1)/(x^(2))`.A. 24B. 27C. 30D. 33

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`3x + (1)/(x) = 6`
Squaring on both sides , we get
`implies 9 x^(2) + (1)/(x^(2)) + 2(3x) ((1)/(x)) = 36`
(`because (a + b)^(2) = a^(2) + b^(2) + 2ab)`
`implies 9x^(2) + (1)/(x^(2)) + 6 = 36`
`implies 9x^(2) + (1)/(x^(2)) = 30`
Hence , the correct option is (c) .
