If x4 - 83x2 + 1 = 0, then a value of x3 - x-3 can be:
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
$$\eqalign{
& {x^4} - 83{x^2} + 1 = 0 \cr
& {x^2} - 83 + \frac{1}{{{x^2}}} = 0 \cr
& {x^2} + \frac{1}{{{x^2}}} = 83 \cr
& {x^2} + \frac{1}{{{x^2}}} - 2 = 83 - 2 \cr
& {\left( {x - \frac{1}{x}} \right)^2} = 81 \cr
& x - \frac{1}{x} = 9 \cr
& {\left( {x - \frac{1}{x}} \right)^3} = {9^3} \cr
& {x^3} - \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} - 3 \times 9 = 729 \cr
& {x^3} - \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} = 756 \cr} $$
