If x - \(\frac{1}{x}\) = 2\(\sqrt{35}\) then find the value of ( x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) )2 |
121 169 144 189 |
144 |
⇒ If x - \(\frac{1}{x}\) = a then x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = \(\sqrt {a^2 + 4}\) Here, x - \(\frac{1}{x}\) = 2\(\sqrt{35}\), then ⇒ x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = \(\sqrt {(2\sqrt{35})^2 + 4}\) = 12 ⇒ ( x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) )2 = 122 = 144 |
