      If x2 – 5x + 1 = 0, then find the value of

      {x2 + (1/x2)}.
      A 29 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 27 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 23 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Since, x2 – 5x + 1 = 0  So, x2 + 1 = 5x  Dividing each term by ‘x’, we get Or, x + (1/x) = 5 Squaring both sides, we get (x + 1/x)2 = 52 = 25 Or, x2 + (1/x2) + 2 = 25 Or, x2 + (1/x2) = 23
