Question:

If $ X^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} = 38 $ , then what is the value of $ X - \frac{1}{x}$ ?

Options:

6

7

8

10

Correct Answer:

6

Explanation:

$ X^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} = 38 $

what is the value of $ X - \frac{1}{x}$ 

a2 + b2 = n

a + b = \(\sqrt {n - 2}\)

$ X - \frac{1}{x}$ = \(\sqrt {38 - 2}\) = 6
