Question:

If a + \(\frac{1}{a}\) + 2 = 0

Then find the value of  (a + 2) +  \(\frac{1}{(a + 2)}\).

Options:

1

2

3

0

Correct Answer:

2

Explanation:

If a + \(\frac{1}{a}\) + 2 = 0

it is possible only when a = -1

So put a = -1 in the required term =

(a + 2) +  \(\frac{1}{a + 2}\) = (-1 + 2) +  \(\frac{1}{-1 + 2}\) = 2
