If $\sqrt{x}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}=\sqrt{6}$, then the value of $x^6 +\frac{1}{x^6}$ will be :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
If $\sqrt{x}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}=\sqrt{6}$,
then the value of $x^6 +\frac{1}{x^6}$ = ?
we know that,
$(x - \frac{1}{x}) = a$
(x2 + x-2) = (a)2 + 2 = b
If x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = n
then, $x^3 +\frac{1}{x^3}$ = n3 - 3 × n
If $K+\frac{1}{K}=n$
then, $K^2+\frac{1}{K^2}$ = n2 – 2
According to the question,
$\sqrt{x}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}=\sqrt{6}$
then, $x+\frac{1}{x}$ = $\sqrt{6}$2 – 2 = 4
and then, $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}$ = 43 – 3 × 4 = 52
Now apply the formula of square again,
$x^6 +\frac{1}{x^6}$ = 522 – 2 = 2702
