  • Question
  • If [a + (1/a)] 2 = 3 , what is the value of a 3 + (1/a) 3?


  • Options
  • A. 10?3/3
  • B. 0
  • C. 3?3
  • D. 6?3

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    [a + (1/a)]2 = 3
    Taking square roots both sides, we get
    a + (1/a) = ?3
    On cubing both sides, we
    [a + (1/a)]3 = (?3)3
    ? a3 + 1/a3 + 3.a.1/[a(a + 1/a)] = 3 ?3
    ? a3 + 1/a3 + 3?3 = 3?3
    ? a3 + 1/a3 = 0
