●If x + 1/x = a
●x^2 + 1/x^2 = a^2-2
● x^3 + 1/x^3 = a^3-3a.
So, x+1/x = 3, => x^2 + 1/x^2 = 3^2-2 = 7
x^6 + 1/x^6 = 7^3 - 3*7 = 343-21 = 322.
If x + 1/x = rt3 .
x^55 + 1/x^55 = ?
x+ 1/x = √3
(x+ 1/x)³ = (√3)³
x³ + 1/x³ + 3( x +1/x) = 3√3
x³ +1/x³ = 0
x³ (x³ + 1/x³) = 0• x³
x⁶ + 1 = 0
x⁶ = -1
x⁵⁵ + 1/x⁵⁵ = ( x⁶ )⁹ •x + 1/( x⁶ )⁹•x = - (x+1/x) = -√3
