Question : If $(y-\frac{1}{y})=-9$, what will be the value of $(y^5-\frac{1}{y^5})?$

Option 1: – 62757

Option 2: – 62748

Option 3: – 62739

Option 4: – 59049

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: – 62739


Solution : $(y-\frac{1}{y})=-9$
Squaring on both sides,
⇒ $(y-\frac{1}{y})^2=(-9)^2$
⇒ $y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}-2×y×\frac{1}{y}=(-9)^2$
⇒ $y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}= 81+2= 83$
Squaring on both sides,
$(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2})^2$ = $83^2$
⇒ $y^4+\frac{1}{y^4}+2 = 6889$
⇒ $y^4+\frac{1}{y^4} = 6887$
⇒ $(y-\frac{1}{y})(y^4+\frac{1}{y^4})$ = $(y^5-\frac{1}{y^5}-y^3+\frac{1}{y^3})$
⇒ $-9×6887 = (y^5-\frac{1}{y^5}-(y^3-\frac{1}{y^3}))$
⇒ $-9×6887 = [y^5-\frac{1}{y^5}-(y-\frac{1}{y})(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}+y×\frac{1}{y})]$
⇒ $-61983 = [y^5-\frac{1}{y^5}-(-9)(83+1)]$
