Question

if
$x {}^{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 14$
find the value of x
​

Answer 1

Answer:52

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 1/x² = 14

(x + 1/x)² -2.x.1/x = 14

(x + 1/x )² -2 = 14

(x + 1/x )² = 16

(x + 1/x) = 4

then,

x³ + 1/x³ = ( x + 1/x)³ - 3.x.1/x(x + 1/x)

= ( x +1/x)³ -3(x + 1/x)

= (4)³ -3(4)

= 64 - 12

= 52
