Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 2√5 GIVEN: x = 9 – 4√5 CONCEPT USED: a2 - b2 = (a + b) × (a - b) CALCULATION: x = 9 – 4√5 So, 1/x = 1/(9 – 4√5) = (9 + 4√5)/(9 – 4√5) × (9 + 4√5) ⇒ 1/x = (9 + 4√5)/(81 - 80) = 9 + 4√5 1/x = 9 + 4√5 ⇒ x + 1/x = (9 – 4√5) + (9 + 4√5) = 18 We know that, if x + 1/x = a, then √x + 1/√x = √(a + 2) Now, √x + 1/√x = √(18 + 2) = √20 ∴ 2√5 |
