    If \[x=3+2\sqrt{2},\] then the values of \[{{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\] and \[{{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\] are respectively.

    A) \[140\sqrt{2},\] 198                   

    B) 234, 216

    C) 216, 234                       

    D) 198, \[140\sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[x=3+2\sqrt{2}\]
    \[x+\frac{1}{x}=3+2\sqrt{2}+\frac{1}{3+2\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{(3-2\sqrt{2})}{(3-2\sqrt{2})}\] \[=3+2\sqrt{2}+\frac{3-2\sqrt{2}}{9-8}=3+2\sqrt{2}+3-2\sqrt{2}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x+\frac{1}{x}=6\]
    On cubing both sides, we get
    \[{{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}+3\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)x\times \frac{1}{x}={{6}^{3}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}+3\,(6)=216\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}=216-18=198\]
    Similarly, \[{{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}=140\sqrt{2}\]
