If m^2 + m^-2=23
then find
m^3 + m^-3
Read Solution (Total 8)
-
- a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2+b^2-ab)
here a=m,b=1/m;
(m+1/m)(23-1);
and (m+1/m)=(m2+1/m2+2)^1/2=5;
=5*22=110 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(1)
- 110.
sqauring m+1/m we get the value of m+1/m.
cubing m+1/m we get the required value - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- (m+1/m)^2= m^2+1/m^2+2
m^2+1/m^2=23
m+1/m=5
then
make use of in m^3+m^-3
so answer is 110 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- 0 because 3m-3m=0 whatever may be value of m

- answer is 110
solution is:-
(m + (1/m))^2=m^2 + (1/m)^2 + 2*m*(1/m)
(m + (1/m))^2=23 + 2*m*(1/m)=23+2=25
so, (m + (1/m))=sqrt (25)=5
now,
(m + (1/m))^3=m^3 + (1/m)^3 + 3*m^2*(1/m) + 3*m*(1/m)^2
5^3 - 3*m^2*(1/m) - 3*m*(1/m)^2 =m^3 + (1/m)^3
5^3 - 3*(m +(1/m)) =m^3 + (1/m)^3
5^3 - 3*5 = m^3 + (1/m)^3
125-15=m^3 + (1/m)^3
therefore, m^3 + (1/m)^3=110 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- from (a+b)^2 formula,we can find (m+1/m).From (a+b)^3,we can find the solution. Answer is 110

- m^2+m^-2=23 ==> m+m^-1=5
m^3+m^-3=(m+m^-1)^3-3(m+m^-1) = 125-3(5) = 125-15 = 110 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 110 and -110
