    If \[\mathbf{x=}\frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{2-}\sqrt{\mathbf{3}}}\], what is the value of \[{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{3}}}-\mathbf{2}{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}-\mathbf{7x}+\mathbf{5}\]

    A)  2                                

    B)  3

    C)  5                                

    D)  9

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b): We have, \[x=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}\times \frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{{{2}^{2}}-{{(\sqrt{3})}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{4-3}=2+\sqrt{3}\]   \[\Rightarrow x-2=\sqrt{3}\] \[\Rightarrow {{\left( x-2 \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \sqrt{3} \right)}^{2}}\] \[{{x}^{2}}-4x+4=3\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-4x+1=0\] \[\therefore {{x}^{3}}-2{{x}^{2}}-7x+5\] \[=x\left( {{x}^{2}}-4x+1 \right)+2({{x}^{2}}-4x+1)+3\] \[=x\times 0+2\times 0+3=3\]
