Question

if $if x +\frac{1}{2} = 2, what is the value of x^{2} +\frac{1}{x^{2} }$

Answer 1

Answer:

$x + \frac{1}{2} = 2$

Therefore,

$x = 2 - \frac{1}{2}$

$x = \frac{3}{2}$

Hence,

${x}^{2} = {( \frac{3}{2} })^{2}$

${x}^{2} = \frac{9}{4}$

So x^2+1/x^2=97/36

Answer 2

Answer:

X+ 1/2=2

X=2-1/2

X= (4-1)/2

X= 3/2

x² = 9/4

x²+ 1/ x²

=9/4 +1 / (9/4)

=9/4+4/9

=97/36

hope it helps ☺️
