      If x² - 2x + 1 = 0, then find the value of (x +

      x⁻¹)².
      A 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      x² - 2x + 1 = 0
      x² + 1 = 2x
      By dividing both side by 'x' we get,
      (x + 1/x) = 2
      So, x = 1 [Since we know if (x + 1/x) = 2, then the value of 'x' is 1]
      Now, (x + x⁻¹)² = (1 + 1)² = 2² = 4
