Question : If $x=\sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt3}{2-\sqrt3}}$, then what is the value of $(x^{2}+x-9)$?

Option 1: 0

Option 2: $3\sqrt2$

Option 3: $3\sqrt3$

Option 4: $5\sqrt3$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $5\sqrt3$


Solution : Given: $x=\sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt3}{2-\sqrt3}}$
Using the rationalisation method, we get,
⇒ $x=\sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt3}{2-\sqrt3} \times \frac{2+\sqrt3}{2+\sqrt3}}$
⇒ $x=\sqrt{\frac{(2+\sqrt3)^2}{2^2-\sqrt3^2}}$
⇒ $x=\sqrt{\frac{(2+\sqrt3)^2}{4-3}}$
⇒ $x=(2+\sqrt3)$
Putting $x=(2+\sqrt3)$ in $x^2+x-9$, we get,
= $(2+\sqrt3)^2+(2+\sqrt3)-9$
= $(4+3+4\sqrt3)+(2+\sqrt3)-9$
= $5\sqrt3$
Hence, the correct answer is $5\sqrt3$.

Question : If $c+ \frac{1}{c} =\sqrt{3}$, then the value of $c^{3}+ \frac{1}{c^{3}}$ is equal to:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: $\sqrt[3]{3}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Option 4: $\sqrt[6]{3}$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given: $c+ \frac{1}{c} =\sqrt{3}$
$⇒(c+ \frac{1}{c})^{3} =(\sqrt{3})^{3}$
$⇒c^{3}+ \frac{1}{c^{3}}+3×c×\frac{1}{c}(c+ \frac{1}{c}) =3\sqrt{3}$
$⇒c^{3}+ \frac{1}{c^{3}}+3×\sqrt{3}=3\sqrt{3}$
$⇒c^{3}+ \frac{1}{c^{3}}=3\sqrt{3} -3\sqrt{3}$
$\therefore c^{3}+ \frac{1}{c^{3}}=0$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.
