If $5 x+\frac{1}{3 x}=4$, then what is the value of $9 x^2+\frac{1}{25 x^2} ?$ |
$\frac{174}{125}$ $\frac{114}{25}$ $\frac{119}{25}$ $\frac{144}{125}$ |
$\frac{114}{25}$ |
If $5 x+\frac{1}{3 x}=4$, then what is the value of $9 x^2+\frac{1}{25 x^2} ?$ Multiply$5 x+\frac{1}{3 x}=4$ with \(\frac{3}{5}\) to get the desired form of the equation. So, 3x + \(\frac{1}{5x}\) = 4 × \(\frac{3}{5}\) 3x + \(\frac{1}{5x}\) = \(\frac{12}{5}\) If $K+\frac{1}{K}=n$ then, $K^2+\frac{1}{K^2}$ = n2 – 2 × k × $\frac{1}{K}$ $9 x^2+\frac{1}{25 x^2}$ = (\(\frac{12}{5}\))2 – 2 × 3x × \(\frac{1}{5x}\) $9 x^2+\frac{1}{25 x^2}$ = (\(\frac{144}{25}\)) - \(\frac{6}{5}\) $9 x^2+\frac{1}{25 x^2}$ = \(\frac{144 - 30}{25}\) = $\frac{114}{25}$ |
