Question : If $x+\frac{1}{x}=\sqrt{3}$, the value of $(x^{18}+x^{12}+x^{6}+1)$ is:
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : Given: $x+\frac{1}{x}=\sqrt{3}$ (equation 1) We know that the algebraic identity is $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3(x+\frac{1}{x})$ $x+\frac{1}{x}=\sqrt{3}$ Take the cube on both sides of the above equation, we get, $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=(\sqrt{3})^3$ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3(x+\frac{1}{x})=3\sqrt{3}$ Substitute the value from equation 1 in the above equation and we get, $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3\sqrt{3}=3\sqrt{3}$ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3\sqrt{3}–3\sqrt{3}=0$ $x^6+1=0$ $x^6=–1$ The
Question : If the surface area of a sphere is $1386 \mathrm{~cm}^2$, then its volume is: (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$ )
Option 1: 8451 cm3
Option 2: 4851 cm3
Option 3: 5418 cm3
Option 4: 4581 cm3
Correct Answer: 4851 cm3
Solution : The surface area of the sphere = 1386 cm$^2$ Surface area of a sphere = $4\pi r^2$ ⇒ $4\pi r^2$ = 1386 ⇒ $4 × (\frac{22}{7}) × r^2$ = 1386 ⇒ $r = \frac{21}{2}$ cm Volume of a sphere = $(\frac{4}{3})\pi r^3$ =
