The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( x^3 + y^3 \) given \( x = \frac{\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}} \) and \( y = \frac{\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Recognize the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \) Notice that \( y \) is the reciprocal of \( x \): \[ y = \frac{1}{x} \] ### Step 2: Use the identity for \( x^3 + y^3 \) We can use the identity: \[ x^3 + y^3 = (x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2) \] Since \( y = \frac{1}{x} \), we have \( xy = 1 \). ### Step 3: Find \( x + y \) To find \( x + y \): \[ x + y = \frac{\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}} + \frac{\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}} \] Taking the LCM: \[ x + y = \frac{(\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5})^2 + (\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5})^2}{(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5})(\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5})} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the numerator Calculating the squares: \[ (\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5})^2 = 7 - 2\sqrt{35} + 5 = 12 - 2\sqrt{35} \] \[ (\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5})^2 = 7 + 2\sqrt{35} + 5 = 12 + 2\sqrt{35} \] Adding these: \[ (\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5})^2 + (\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5})^2 = (12 - 2\sqrt{35}) + (12 + 2\sqrt{35}) = 24 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the denominator The denominator becomes: \[ (\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5})(\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}) = 7 - 5 = 2 \] ### Step 6: Combine results for \( x + y \) Thus: \[ x + y = \frac{24}{2} = 12 \] ### Step 7: Calculate \( x^2 + y^2 \) Using the identity: \[ x^2 + y^2 = (x + y)^2 - 2xy = 12^2 - 2 \cdot 1 = 144 - 2 = 142 \] ### Step 8: Substitute into \( x^3 + y^3 \) Now substituting back into the identity: \[ x^3 + y^3 = (x + y)((x^2 + y^2) - xy) = 12(142 - 1) = 12 \cdot 141 = 1692 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( x^3 + y^3 \) is: \[ \boxed{1692} \]
