Question

If $x - \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{2}$ , then write the value of $4 x^{2} + \frac{4}{x^{2}}$ .

Open in App

Solution

$x - \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{2} 2 x - \frac{2}{x} = 1 (Multiplying by 2) Squaring both sides, {(2 x - \frac{2}{x})}^{2} = (1)^{2} \Rightarrow 4 x^{2} + \frac{4}{x^{2}} - 2 \times 2 x \times \frac{2}{x} = 1 \Rightarrow 4 x^{2} + \frac{4}{x^{2}} - 8 = 1 \Rightarrow 4 x^{2} + \frac{4}{x^{2}} = 1 + 8 = 9 ∴ 4 x^{2} + \frac{4}{x^{2}} = 9$

If x−1x=12, then write the value of 4x2+4x2.

x−1x=122x−2x=1 (Multiplying by 2)Squaring both sides,(2x−2x)2=(1)2⇒ 4x2+4x2−2×2x×2x=1⇒ 4x2+4x2−8=1⇒ 4x2+4x2=1+8=9∴ 4x2+4x2=9
