Question

If m + 1\over m = √3, then find the value of (a) m² + 1\over m^2 and (b) m³ + 1\over m^3.

WBBSE Class X Mathematics Quadratic Surds 03 Mark 2022

Answer

Given: m + 1\over m = √3

(a) m² + 1\over m² = (m + 1\over m )² – 2

= (√3)² – 2

= 3 – 2 = 1

(b) m³ + 1\over m³ = (m + 1\over m )³ – 3 (m + 1\over m )

= (√3)³ – 3 (√3)

= 3√3 – 3 √3

= 0
