If x = √6 + √5, then \({x^2} + \frac{1}{{{x^2}}} - 2 = \)1. \(\sqrt[2]{6}\)2. \(\sqrt[2]{5}\)3. 244. 20

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 20

Given: 

x = √6 + √5

Formula used: 

(a - b)2 = a+ b- 2ab

Calculation:

x = √6 + √5

⇒ 1/x = √6 - √5 

⇒ x - 1/x = 2√5

⇒ (x - 1/x)2 = (2√5)2

⇒ x2 + 1/x- 2 = 20

The value of x2 + 1/x- 2 is 20.
