{tex}Q.\text{ If x = 2 + }\sqrt5\text{, prove that: }{x^2+\frac1{x^2}=18.}{/tex}
 

{tex}Sol.\text{ If x = 2 + }\sqrt5,\\ {=>\ x^2=4+4\sqrt5+5= 9+4\sqrt5}\\ So,{x^2+\frac1{x^2}={(9+4\sqrt5)+\frac1{(9+4\sqrt5)}}}\\ (Rationalising,)\\ =>\ {(9+4\sqrt5)+\frac1{(9+4\sqrt5)}\times\frac{(9-4\sqrt5)}{(9-4\sqrt5)}}\\ =>\ {(9+4\sqrt5)+\frac{(9-4\sqrt5)}{(81-80)}}\\ =>\ {(9+4\sqrt5)+\frac{(9-4\sqrt5)}{(1)}}\\ =>\ {(9+4\sqrt5)+{(9-4\sqrt5)}}\\ =>18\\ =>LHS=RHS\\ Hence Proved...{/tex} {tex}\huge{Identities\ used:}\\ \huge{1.\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2}\\ \huge{2.\ (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2}\\{/tex}
