Question

if x² + 1/x² =7 ,Find the value of x - 1/x​

Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation is x² + (1/x²) = 7.

It can be written as,

⇒ x² + (1/x²) = 9 - 2

⇒ x² + (1/x²) + 2 = 9

⇒ (x + 1/x)² = 9

⇒ x + 1/x = 3.

On cubing both sides, we get

⇒ (x + 1/x)³ = (3)³

⇒ x³ + 1/x³ + 3(x + 1/x) = 27

⇒ x³ + 1/x³ + 3(3) = 27

⇒ x³ + 1/x³ + 9 = 27

⇒ x³ + 1/x³ = 18.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

x²+1/x²=7

(x-1/x) ²=x²+1/x²-2

=7-2=5

x-1/x=√5
