- If x = 5 - 2√6, find x² + 1/x²
Rarionalsation :
- The process of multiplying a surd by another surd to get a rational number is called rationalisation.
- Each surd is called rationalising factor of another surd.
Rule to Rationalise the denominator of an expression :
- Multiply and divide the numerator and denominator of the given expression by rationalising factor of its denominator and simplify.
Given that :
x = 5 - 2√6
So,
1/x must be 1/(5 - 2√6) by putting the value of x in the denominator
Now to rationalise the denominator :
Now applying identity for the denominator :
(a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²
Here,
a → 5
b → 2√6
Now adding x with 1/x we get
Putting their values we get
Now we need to find x² + 1/x²
Applying the identity we get
- Hence, the answer is 98
