Answer:
(i): 7 ; (ii) √53 (iii) 7√53
Step-by-step explanation:
⇒ x² - 7x - 1 = 0
⇒ x² - 1 = 7x
⇒ (x² - 1)/x = 7
⇒ (x²/x) - (1/x) = 7
⇒ x - 1/x = 7
(i): x - 1/x = 7
Square on both sides:
⇒ (x - 1/x)² = 7²
⇒ x² + 1/x² - 2(x*1/x) = 49
⇒ x² + 1/x² = 51
Using, (x + 1/x)² = x² + 1/x² + 2
⇒ (x + 1/x)² = 51 + 2
⇒ (x + 1/x) = √53
(ii): x + 1/x = √53
(iii): x² - 1/x²
(x)² - (1/x)²
(x + 1/x)(x - 1/x)
√53 * 7
7√53

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:-
- ⇒ x² - 7x - 1 = 0
- ⇒ x² - 1 = 7x
- ⇒ (x² - 1)/x = 7
- ⇒ (x²/x) - (1/x) = 7
- ⇒ x - 1/x = 7
(i): x - 1/x = 7
Square on both sides:

- ⇒ (x + 1/x)² = 51 + 2
- ⇒ (x + 1/x) = √53
- (ii): x + 1/x = √53
(iii): x² - 1/x²
- (x)² - (1/x)²
- (x + 1/x)(x - 1/x)
- √53 * 7
- 7√53
hope this helps you ☺️
