1.

X + 1/x = 31, then x2 + 1/ x2 = ?.​

Answer»

ANSWER:

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

Given

x-1/x = 3---(1)

On SQUARING equation (1), we get

=> (x-1/x)² = 3²

=> x²+1/x²-2*x*(1/x) = 9

/* By algebraic identity :

(a-b)² = a²+b²-2ab */

=> x²+1/x² - 2 = 9

=> x² + 1/x² = 9 +2

=> x² + 1/x² = 11

Therefore,

x²+1/x² = 11
