If x(3 - ) = , then the value of x3 - 1/x3 is equal to:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e.
Here it is given that,
x(3 - ) =
3x - 2 = 3/x
3x - 3/x = 2
x - 1/x = 2/3
On cubing both sides we get,
x3 - 1/x3 - 3 × x × 1/x (x - 1/x) = 8/27
x3 - 1/x3 - 2 = 8/27
x3 - 1/x3 = 8/27 + 2
x3 - 1/x3 = 62/27.
