If x2 - 23x - 1= 0 and x > 1, then the value of x3 - \(\frac{1}{x^3}\) will be: |
12324 11234 12236 13245 |
12236 |
If x2 - 23x - 1= 0 Divide by x on both sides, x - \(\frac{1}{x}\) = 23 x3 - \(\frac{1}{x^3}\) = 233 + 3 × 23 = 12236
Note - if x - \(\frac{1}{x}\) = a then x3 - \(\frac{1}{x^3}\) = a3 + 3a |
