Given : {tex}x^2+{1\over x^2} = 7{/tex}

To find : {tex}2x^2-{2\over x^2}{/tex}

Solution :

We know,

{tex}(a+b)^2 = a^2+b^2+2ab{/tex} ...(1)

Put a = x and b = {tex}1\over x{/tex}
{tex}(x+{1\over x})^2= x^2+{1\over x^2}+2{/tex}

=> {tex}(x+{1\over x})^2= 7+2=9{/tex}

=> {tex}x+{1\over x}= 3{/tex}...... (2)

Also 

{tex}(x-{1\over x})^2= x^2+{1\over x^2}-2{/tex}

{tex}=> (x-{1\over x})^2= 7-2{/tex}= 5

{tex}=> x-{1\over x}= \sqrt 5{/tex} ... (3)

Multiply (2) and (3)

{tex}x^2-{1\over x^2}= 3\sqrt 5{/tex}

Multiply both side by 2

{tex}2x^2-{2\over x^2}= 6\sqrt 5{/tex}
