The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( a^3 + \frac{1}{a^3} \) given that \( a + \frac{1}{a} = \sqrt{3} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Cube both sides of the equation We start with the equation: \[ a + \frac{1}{a} = \sqrt{3} \] Now, we will cube both sides: \[ \left(a + \frac{1}{a}\right)^3 = \left(\sqrt{3}\right)^3 \] ### Step 2: Expand the left side using the binomial theorem Using the formula \( (x + y)^3 = x^3 + y^3 + 3xy(x + y) \), we can expand the left side: \[ a^3 + \frac{1}{a^3} + 3\left(a \cdot \frac{1}{a}\right)\left(a + \frac{1}{a}\right) = 3\sqrt{3} \] Since \( a \cdot \frac{1}{a} = 1 \), this simplifies to: \[ a^3 + \frac{1}{a^3} + 3(a + \frac{1}{a}) = 3\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( a + \frac{1}{a} \) into the equation We know that \( a + \frac{1}{a} = \sqrt{3} \), so substituting this into the equation gives: \[ a^3 + \frac{1}{a^3} + 3\sqrt{3} = 3\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 4: Isolate \( a^3 + \frac{1}{a^3} \) Now, we can isolate \( a^3 + \frac{1}{a^3} \): \[ a^3 + \frac{1}{a^3} = 3\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{3} \] This simplifies to: \[ a^3 + \frac{1}{a^3} = 0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( a^3 + \frac{1}{a^3} \) is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
