If $$x + \frac{1}{x} = 3{\text{,}}$$ then the value of $$\frac{{3{x^2} - 4x + 3}}{{{x^2} - x + 1}}$$ is?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
$$\eqalign{
& x + \frac{1}{x} = 3 \cr
& \frac{{3{x^2} - 4x + 3}}{{{x^2} - x + 1}} \cr
& = \frac{{\frac{{3{x^2}}}{x} - \frac{{4x}}{x} + \frac{3}{x}}}{{\frac{{{x^2}}}{x} - \frac{x}{x} + \frac{1}{x}}} \cr
& = \frac{{3\left( {x + \frac{1}{x}} \right) - 4}}{{\left( {x + \frac{1}{x}} \right) - 1}} \cr
& = \frac{{3 \times 3 - 4}}{{3 - 1}} \cr
& = \frac{{9 - 4}}{2} \cr
& = \frac{5}{2} \cr} $$
