If x2 - 5x + 1 = 0, then the value of $$\left( {{x^4} + \frac{1}{{{x^2}}}} \right) \div \left( {{x^2} + 1} \right)$$ is:
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
$$\eqalign{
& {x^2} - 5x + 1 = 0 \cr
& \left( {{x^4} + \frac{1}{{{x^2}}}} \right) \div \left( {{x^2} + 1} \right) = ? \cr
& {x^2} - 5x + 1 = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow x + \frac{1}{x} = 5 \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} = 110 \cr
& \frac{{x\left( {{x^3} + \frac{1}{{{x^3}}}} \right)}}{{x\left( {x + \frac{1}{x}} \right)}} = \frac{{110}}{5} = 22 \cr} $$
