If n be a natural number define polynomial f_(n)(x) of n^(th) degree as follows f_(n)(costheta)cosntheta i.e. f_(2)(x)=2x^(2)-1 f_(3)(x)=4x^(3)-3x_(1) Then (x+sqrt(x^(2)-1))^(10)+(x-sqrt(x^(2)-1s))^(10) is equal to

Answer»

`f_(10)(x)`
`f_(11)(x)+f_(9)(x)`
`f_(11)(x)`
`2f_(10)(x)`

SOLUTION :As, `f(x)=x` & `cos(N+1)theta+cos(n-1)theta=2cos(ntheta).costheta`
`f_((n+1))(x)+f_((n-1))=2x.f_(n)(x)`
`f_(n)(x)=1/(2x)[f_(n+1)(x)+f_(n-1)(x)]`
Now, Put `x=costheta, impliessqrt(x^(2)-1)=isintheta`
`(x+sqrt(x^(2)-1))^(10)+(x-sqrt(x^(2)-1))^(10)=(costheta+isintheta)^(10)+(costheta-isintheta)^(10)`
`=2cos(10theta)=2f_(10)(costheta)=2f_(10)(x)`
