If $x^2 - 3\sqrt{2}x + 1= 0$, then what is the value of $x^3 + (\frac{1}{x^3})$ ? |
$30\sqrt{6}$ $45\sqrt{2}$ $15\sqrt{6}$ $30\sqrt{2}$ |
$45\sqrt{2}$ |
We know that, If x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = n then, $x^3 +\frac{1}{x^3}$ = n3 - 3 × n If $x^2 - 3\sqrt{2}x + 1= 0$, then what is the value of $x^3 + (\frac{1}{x^3})$= ? If $x^2 - 3\sqrt{2}x + 1= 0$, Divide by x on the both sides of the equation, x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = $3\sqrt{2}$ Then, $x^3 +\frac{1}{x^3}$ = ($3\sqrt{2}$)3 - 3 × $3\sqrt{2}$ = $54\sqrt{2}$ - $9\sqrt{2}$ = $45\sqrt{2}$ |
