If 5x2 - 6x - 5 = 0, then find the value of \({\left( {x - \frac{1}{x}} \right)^2}\).1. 16/252. 64/253. 81/254. 36/25

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 36/25

Given:

5x2 – 6x – 5 = 0

Calculation:

5x2 – 5 = 6x

⇒ 5(x2 – 1) = 6x

⇒ x2 – 1 = 6x/5

Dividing x on both sides

⇒ x – (1/x) = 6/5

⇒ {x – (1/x)}2 = 36/25

The value of {x – (1/x)}2 is 36/25.
