  • Question
  • If x = ?3 + ?2, then the value of (x + 1)/(x - 1) - (x - 1)/(x + 1) is?


  • Options
  • A. ?3
  • B. ?2
  • C. ?6
  • D. None of above

  • Correct Answer
  • ?2 

    Explanation

    (x + 1)/(x - 1) - (x - 1)/(x + 1) = {(x + 1)2 - (x - 1)2} / {(x - 1) (x + 1)}
    = (x2 + 1 + 2x) - (x2 + 1 - 2x) / (x2 - 1)
    = 4x / (x2 - 1) = 4(?3 + ?2) / {(?3 + ?2)2 - 1}
    = 4(?3 + ?2) / (3 + 2 + 2?6 - 1) = 4(?3 + ?2) / (4 + 2 ?6)
    = 4(?3 + ?2) / 2 ?2 (?3 + ?2)
    = ?2
