If x2 - 3x + 1 = 0, then the value of $$\frac{{{x^6} + {x^4} + {x^2} + 1}}{{{x^3}}}$$ will be?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
$$\eqalign{
& {x^2} - 3x + 1 = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^2} + 1 = 3x \cr
& \Rightarrow x + \frac{1}{x} = 3 \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} + 3 \times 3 = 27 \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} = 18 \cr
& \therefore \frac{{{x^6} + {x^4} + {x^2} + 1}}{{{x^3}}}{\text{ }} \cr
& = \frac{{{x^6}}}{{{x^3}}} + \frac{{{x^4}}}{{{x^3}}} + \frac{{{x^2}}}{{{x^3}}} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} \cr
& = {x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} + \frac{1}{x} + x \cr
& = 18 + 3 \cr
& = 21 \cr} $$
