Question

3. If x = 2 root 3+ root 3, then x3
+1/x3​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is given that,

x=2−

3

so,

1/x=1/(2−

3

)

By rationalizing the denominator, we get

=[1(2+

3

)]/[(2−

3

)(2+

3

)]

=[(2+

3

)]/[(2

2

)−(

3

)

2

]

=[(2+

3

)]/[4−3]

=2+

3

Now,

x−1/x=2−

3

−2−

3

=−2

Let us cube on both sides, we get

(x−1/x)

3

=(−2
