If x - \(\frac{1}{x}\) = 2\(\sqrt{15}\)
then find the value of ( x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) )3
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
⇒ If x - \(\frac{1}{x}\) = a then x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = \(\sqrt {a^2 + 4}\)
Here,
x - \(\frac{1}{x}\) = 2\(\sqrt{15}\), then
⇒ x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = \(\sqrt {(2\sqrt{15})^2 + 4}\) = 8
⇒ ( x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) )3 = 83 = 512
