If x+1/x=7 find the value of : x square 1/x square |
|
Answer» x + 1X1X = 7 ⇒ (x + 1x1x)2 =(7)2 ⇒ (x2+ 1x21x2+ 2) = 49 ⇒ x2+ 1x21x2 = 47 Therefore, x2+ 1x21x2 = 47.Step-by-step explanation:Given: x + 1/x = 7 SQUARING on both sides ⇒ (x + 1/x )2 =(7)2 ⇒ x2 + ( 1/x)2 + 2(x)(1/x) = 49 [∵ (a+b)2= a2+b2 + 2ab] ⇒ x2 + 1/(x2) + 2 = 49 ⇒ x2 + 1/(x2) = 49 - 2 ∴ x2 + 1/(x2) = 47 |
