Question : If $g=(2-\sqrt{3})$, what will be the value of $\left(g^3-\frac{1}{g^3}\right)$?
Option 1: $-30 \sqrt{3}$
Option 2: 52
Option 3: $30 \sqrt{3}$
Option 4: –52
Correct Answer: $-30 \sqrt{3}$
Solution : Given, $g=(2-\sqrt{3})$ ⇒, $\frac{1}{g}=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{g}=\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{(2-\sqrt{3})(2+\sqrt{3})}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{g}=2+\sqrt{3}$ $\left(g^3-\frac{1}{g^3}\right)=(g-\frac{1}{g})(g^2+\frac{1}{g^2}+g×\frac{1}{g})$ ⇒ $\left(g^3-\frac{1}{g^3}\right)=(2-\sqrt{3}-(2+\sqrt{3}))((4+3-4\sqrt{3})+(4+3+4\sqrt{3})+1)$ ⇒ $\left(g^3-\frac{1}{g^3}\right)=-2\sqrt{3}(15)$ ⇒ $\left(g^3-\frac{1}{g^3}\right)=-30\sqrt{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $-30\sqrt{3}$.
