Question :--- if x = 9 - 4√5 , find (x² + 1/x²) = ?
Solution :---
→ x = (9-4√5)
→ 1/x = 1/(9-4√5)
Rationalizing the RHS part now ,
→ 1/x = 1/(9 - 4√5) * (9+4√5)/(9+4√5)
using (a+b)(a-b) = a² - b² in Denominator now,
→ 1/x = (9 + 4√5) / (9² - (4√5)²)
→ 1/x = (9+4√5) / (81-80)
→ 1/x = (9+4√5)
So ,
→ x + 1/x = (9-4√5) + (9-4√5)
→ x + 1/x = 18
Squaring both sides now we get,
→ (x+1/x) ² = (18)²
using (a+b)² = a² + b² +2ab in LHS,
→ x² + 1/x² + 2 * x * 1/x = 324
→ x² + 1/x² + 2 = 324
→ x² + 1/x² = 324 - 2
→ x² + 1/x² = 322 (Ans) .
