If a - 1/(a - 5) = 10 Then find , (a - 5)3 - 1/((a - 5)^3)

Given = a - \(\frac{1}{a - 5}\) = 10

By subtracting 5 on both sides we get,

(a - 5) - \(\frac{1}{a - 5}\) = 10 - 5 = 5

(a - 5)³ - \(\frac{1}{(a - 5)^3}\) = 5³ + 3 × 5 = 140

 

Note - if x -  \(\frac{1}{x}\) = a

then x³ - \(\frac{1}{x^3}\) =  a³ + 3a
