The value of $\frac{1}{(9-4\sqrt{5})^2}+\frac{1}{(9+4\sqrt{5})^2}$ is : |
322 424 246 286 |
322 |
$\frac{1}{(9-4\sqrt{5})^2}+\frac{1}{(9+4\sqrt{5})^2}$ = We know that, (a + b)2 = (a2 + b2 + 2ab) (a - b)2 = (a2 + b2 - 2ab) (a2 - b2) = (a + b) (a - b) So according to the question, $\frac{1}{(9-4\sqrt{5})^2}+\frac{1}{(9+4\sqrt{5})^2}$ = [(9 + 4$\sqrt {5}$)2 + (9 - 4$\sqrt {5}$)2]/[(9 - 4$\sqrt {5}$)2 (9 + 4$\sqrt {5}$)2] = (81 + 80 + 72$\sqrt {5}$ + 81 + 80 - 72$\sqrt {5}$)/(81 - 80) = 322 |
