Answer:
14
Explanation:
we know that x = 2 + √3
x^2 = (2 + √3)^2
= 7 + 4√3
so, 1 / [ (x)^2 ] = 1 / 7 + 4√3
Rationalizing 1 / [ (x)^2 ] = {1 / (7 + 4√3)} * {(7 - 4√3) / (7 - 4√3)}
= 7 - 4√3 / (7+4√3)(7-4√3)
= 7 - 4√3 / [(7)^2 - (4√3)^2]
= 7 - 4√3 / [49 - 48]
= 7 - 4√3
So, (x)^2 + 1/[(x)^2] = 7 + 4√3 + 7 - 4√3
= 14
