If ` x + (1)/(x) = 6` , then find `x^(2) + (1)/(x^(2))` .A. 34B. 36C. 32D. 38

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Given , `x + (1)/(x) = 6`
Taking squares on both the sides , we get
`(x + (1)/(x))^(2) = 6^(2)`
`implies x^(2) + (1)/(x^(2)) + 2 = 36`
`implies x^(2) + (1)/(x^(2)) = 34`
Hence , the correct option is (a) .
