    If (x+1x)=k(x+\frac{1}{x}) = k(x+x1​)=k​ , find the value of x3+1x3.x^3+ \frac{1}{x^3} .x3+x31​.​​
    Question

    If (x+1x)=k(x+\frac{1}{x}) = k​ , find the value of x3+1x3.x^3+ \frac{1}{x^3} .​​

    A.

    3kk33k – k^3​​

    B.

    k33kk^3 - 3k ​​

    C.

    k3k^3​​

    D.

    k3+3kk^3+ 3k​​

    Correct option is B

    ​Given:  

    (x+1x)=k(x+\frac{1}{x}) = k  

    Formula Used:

    (a+b)3=a3+b3+3ab(a+b)(a+b)^3= a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a+b)  

    Solution:

    (x+1x)=k(x+\frac{1}{x}) = k 

    Both sides doing cube 

    (x+1x)3=k3(x+\frac{1}{x})^3 = k^3 

    x3+1x3+3×x×1x(x+1x)=k3x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} +3 \times x \times \frac{1}{x}(x + \frac{1}{x}) = k^3  

    x3+1x3+3k=k3 x3+1x3=k33kx^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} + 3k = k^3 \\\ \\x^3 +\frac{1}{x^3} = k^3 - 3k   ​
