x+1/x=3
squaring on both sides
(x+1/x)^2=(3)^2
(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab
x^2+1/x^2+2*x*1/x=9
x^2+1/x^2=9–2

Answer:
x²+1/x² = 11
Explanation:
Given
x-1/x = 3---(1)
On Squaring equation (1), we get
=> (x-1/x)² = 3²
=> x²+1/x²-2*x*(1/x) = 9
/* By algebraic identity :
(a-b)² = a²+b²-2ab */
=> x²+1/x² - 2 = 9
=> x² + 1/x² = 9 +2
=> x² + 1/x² = 11
Therefore,
x²+1/x² = 11
