Correct Question :-
If a - 1/a = 9 ,find the value of a² - 1/a².
Answer :-
a² - 1/a² = 9√85
Solution :-
a - 1/a = 9----(1)
First find the value of a + 1/a
We know that
(x + y)² = (x - y)² + 4xy
Here
• x = a
• y = 1/a
By substituting the values
⇒ (a + 1/a)² = (a - 1/a)² + 4(a)(1/a)
⇒ (a + 1/a)² = (a - 1/a)² + 4
⇒ (a + 1/a)² = (9)² + 4
⇒ (a + 1/a)² = 81 + 4
⇒ (a + 1/a)² = 85
⇒ a + 1/a = √85 ---(2)
From (1) & (2)
(a + 1/a)(a - 1/a) = √85(9)
⇒ (a + 1/a)(a - 1/a) = 9√85
⇒ (a)² - (1/a)² = 9√85
[Because (x + y)(x - y) = x² - y²]
⇒ a² - 1²/a² = 9√85
⇒ a² - 1/a² = 9√85
Therefore the value of a² - 1/a² is 9√85.
