Assuming the question as (x + 1/x) = 3 Squaring on both the sides we get (x + 1/x)2 = 32 x2 +(1/x2) + 2 = 9 ⇒ x2 +(1/x2) = 7 Now cubing on both the sides we get, [x2 +(1/x2)]3 = 73 LHs is in the form of (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b) Hence [x2]3 + [(1/x2)]3 + 3 (x2) × (1/x2)[x2 +(1/x2)] = 343 ⇒ x6 + (1/x6) + 3 × 7 = 343 ⇒ x6 + (1/x6) + 21 = 343 ∴ x6 + (1/x6) = 343 − 21 = 322

In this question i think we are asked x^5+1/x^5 Solution:x+1/x=3 so x^2+1/x^2+2=9or x^2+1/x^2=7not (x+1/x)(x^2+1/x^2)=7×3=21so x^3+1/x^3+(x+1/x)=21 or x^3+1/x^3=18Now, (x^2+1/x^2)(x^3+1/x^3)=18×7=136or x^5+1/x^5+(x+1/x)=136Finally x^5+1/x^5=133I tried my best to give the answer in simplest way as possible if you are satisfied please approve.
