if x+1/x=2cos π/5 then show,x5+1/x5= -2
Answers
Given info : x + 1/x = 2cosπ/5.
To show : x⁵ + 1/x⁵ = -2
proof : here we have to use, x⁵ + 1/x⁵ = (x² + 1/x²)(x³ + 1/x³) - (x + 1/x)
so we have to find the values of (x² + 1/x²) and (x³ + 1/x³) at first.
x² + 1/x² = (x + 1/x)² - 2 = [2cos²π/5]² - 2 = 2[2cos²π/5 - 1] = 2cos(2π/5)
[ ∵ 2cos²Ф - 1 = cos2Ф ]
now, x³ + 1/x³ = (x + 1/x)³ - 3(x + 1/x) = [2cosπ/5]³ - 3[2cosπ/5] = 2[4cos³(π/5) - 3cos(π/5) ] = 2cos(3π/5)
[∵ 4cos³Ф - 3cosФ = cos3Ф ]
now, LHS = x⁵ + 1/x⁵ = 2cos(2π/5) × 2cos(3π/5) - 2cos(π/5)
= 2{2cos(2π/5) cos(3π/5)} - 2cos(π/5)
= 2[cos(2π + 3π)/5 + cos(3π - 2π)/5] - 2cos(π/5)
[∵ 2cosAcosB = cos(A + B) + cos(A - B) ]
= 2cosπ = 2cos(π/5) - 2cos(π/5) = 2cosπ = 2 × -1 = -2 = RHS
hence proved.
