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: $5\sqrt3$
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 2: $\sqrt[3]{3}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Option 4: $\sqrt[6]{3}$
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.
