hey substitute x^2= (1-sqrt(5))/2 in the expression u get the answer -sqrt(5)
OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@jiteshmeghwal9 ..Can u Check...ur Solution
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is it sqrt5 or -sqrt5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^2 + 1 / x^2 = (x^4 + 1) / x^2

\[x^4 -x^2 - 1 = 0 \]We can let \(t = x^2\).\[t^2 - t - 1 = 0 \iff \boxed{t = \dfrac{1\pm \sqrt 5}{2}}{}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^4=x^2+1
(x^2+2) / x^2 = 1 + 2/x^2
OpenStudy (sirm3d):
\[x^2=1/x^2+1\\x^4=1+x^2\\x^4-x^2-1=0\]by quadratic formula,\[x^2=\frac{1\pm \sqrt{5}}{2}\]disregard \(\displaystyle x^2= \frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}\) since this is not a real number
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nw put the value of x^2
OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):
well \(\sqrt{5}=\pm\sqrt{5}\) but in my book it is only given \(\sqrt{5}\) as answer :)

Lol....Then...Go By My method
OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):
ohh! k
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 + 2/x^2
1 + 4 / (1 + sqrt5)
(5 + sqrt5)/ (1 + sqrt5) rationalize...
u will get (4 sqrt 5)/4 = sqrt5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Nw u Got it...:)
OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):
A little doubt here, just last doubt
