    If\[{{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}=7,\,\,x\ne 0\], then find the value of\[{{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\].

    A) \[19\]                            

    B) \[28\]

    C) \[38\]                

    D)        \[18\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\because \]       \[{{\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}+2\times x\times \frac{1}{x}\]             \[=7+2=9\] \[\therefore \]      \[\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)=\sqrt{9}=3\] Cubing both sides             \[{{\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{3}}={{(3)}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}+3\times x\times \frac{1}{x}\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)=27\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}+3\times 3=27\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}=27-9=18\]
