Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
+77½, -77½ or ±8.775
Solution:
Given, x+1/x = 9 , Squaring both sides
(x+1/x)² = 81 ……………………………………………………..(1)
Now we have
(x- 1/x)² = x² - 2.x.1/x + (1/x)² = x² - 2+ 1/x²
Or, (x- 1/x)² = x² + 2 -2 - 2+ 1/x² (Adding and subtracting 2)
Or, (x- 1/x)² = x² + 2.1 - 4+ 1/x² = x² + 2.x.1/x - 4+ 1/x²
= (x² + 2.x.1/x + 1/x²) - 4 = (x+1/x)² - 4
Substituting for (x+1/x)² from (1),
(x- 1/x)² = 81 - 4 = 77 , Taking square root of both sides
⇒ x- 1/x = ±77½ or ±8.775 (rounded to third decimal) (Answer
