- Question
- If x + 1/x = 2, then what is value of x - 1/x ?
Options- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. -2
- Correct Answer
- 0
ExplanationGiven that, x + 1/x = 2 ...................(i)
On squaring both sides, we get
(x + 1/x)2 = 4
? x2 + 1/x2 + 2 = 4
? x2 + 1/x2 = 2 ..................................(ii)
Now, we have
(x - 1/x)2 = (x2 + 1/x2) - 2x X 1/x
now put the value of x2 + 1/x2
(x - 1/x)2 = 2 - 2 = 0 [from Eq. (ii)]
