If $${x^2} + \frac{1}{{{x^2}}} = \frac{{31}}{9}$$ and x > 0, then what is the value of $${x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} = ?$$
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
$$\eqalign{
& {x^2} + \frac{1}{{{x^2}}} = \frac{{31}}{9} \cr
& x + \frac{1}{x} = \sqrt {\frac{{31}}{9} + 2} \cr
& x + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{7}{3} \cr
& {x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} = {n^3} - 3n \cr
& {x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} = {\left( {\frac{7}{3}} \right)^3} - 3 \times \frac{7}{3} \cr
& {x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} = \frac{{343}}{{27}} - 7 \cr
& {x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} = \frac{{343 - 7 \times 27}}{{27}} \cr
& {x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} = \frac{{154}}{{27}} \cr} $$
