If x(x - 3) = -1, then the value of x3(x3 - 18) is?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
$$\eqalign{
& x\left( {x - 3} \right) = - 1 \cr
& \Rightarrow \left( {x - 3} \right) = \frac{{ - 1}}{x} \cr
& {\text{Taking cube on both sides}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( {x - 3} \right)^3} = {\left( {\frac{{ - 1}}{x}} \right)^3} \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^3} - 27 - 9.x.\left( {x - 3} \right) = \frac{{ - 1}}{{{x^3}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^3} - 27 - 9 \times - 1 = \frac{{ - 1}}{{{x^3}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^3} - 27 + 9 = \frac{{ - 1}}{{{x^3}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^3} - 18 = \frac{{ - 1}}{{{x^3}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^3}\left( {{x^3} - 18} \right) = - 1 \cr} $$
