given x=3-2√2
from the above, 1/x = 1/(3-2√2) = 3+2√2
solving (x+1/x)^2=(3-2√2+3+2√2)^2
x^2 + 1/x^2 +2 = 36
hence x^2 + 1/x^2 = 34
hope its useful.

indusinghkancha: Can you please explain 2nd step
Navasaan: multiply with 3+2√2 on both the sides gives you the value
Navasaan: (3+2√2)/[(3+2√2)(3-2√2)]
Navasaan: (3+2√2)/[3^2-(2√2)^2]
Navasaan: (3+2√2)/(9-8) = 3+2√2
indusinghkancha: Thanks a lot
Navasaan: welcome
