Question:

If $\left(2 \mathrm{a}+\frac{3}{a}-1\right)=11$, what is the value of $\left(4 a^2+\frac{9}{a^2}\right) ?$

Options:

121

148

132

110

Correct Answer:

132

Explanation:

If $K+\frac{1}{K}=n$

then, $K^2+\frac{1}{K^2}$ = n2 – 2

If $\left(2 \mathrm{a}+\frac{3}{a}-1\right)=11$

Then, $\left(2 \mathrm{a}+\frac{3}{a}\right)=11+1=12$

what is the value of $\left(4 a^2+\frac{9}{a^2}\right) ?$ = 122 – 2 × 2  × 3  = 132
