If a + \(\frac{1}{a + 3}\) = 3
Then find , (a + 3)2 + \(\frac{1}{(a + 3)^2}\)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Given = a + \(\frac{1}{a + 3}\) = 3
By adding 3 on both sides we get,
(a + 3) + \(\frac{1}{a + 3}\) = 3 + 3 = 6
(a + 3)2 + \(\frac{1}{(a + 3)^2}\) = 62 - 2 = 34
If (x) + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = a
(x)2 + \(\frac{1}{(x)^2}\) = a2 - 2 = 3
