If $a^{3}+\frac{1}{a^{3}} = 52$ then the value of $2\left(a + \frac{1}{a}\right)$ is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
If $a^{3}+\frac{1}{a^{3}} = 52$
this value is only possible when the value of $\left(a + \frac{1}{a}\right)$ is = 4
so put this value in the desired equation = $2\left(a + \frac{1}{a}\right)$
$2\left(a + \frac{1}{a}\right)$ = $2\left(4\right)$ = 4
