Solution

We have a formula
(a-b)2=(a+b)2-4ab
Put a=x and b= 1/x in this formula we get
(x-1/x)2=(x+1/x)2-4=122-4=144-4=140
x-1/x =√140

\frac{1}{2} (x + 1) + \frac{1}{2} (x - 1) = \frac{5}{12} (x - 2)

x + \frac{1}{x} = 12,

x - \frac{1}{x} = 12,

\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{{(x - 1)}^{2} + {(\sqrt{2})}^{2}}} d x

x + \frac{1}{x} = 12

(x^{2} + \frac{1}{x^{2}})

x

\sqrt[3]{2} = {(x)}^{1 / 12}
