Find ‘x’ if (x³+3x)/(3x²+1) = 189/61

A 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Applying componendo and dividend (x³+3x+3x²+1)/(x³+3-3x²-1) = (189+61)/(189-61) ⇒ ((x+1)³)/((x-1)³) = 125/64  ⇒ (x+1)/(x-1) = 5/4  ⇒ x/1 = (5+4)/(5-4)  ⇒ 9
