The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(2a - \frac{2}{a} + 3 = 0\) and find the value of \(a^3 - \frac{1}{a^3} + 2\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearranging the Equation Start with the given equation: \[ 2a - \frac{2}{a} + 3 = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2a + 3 = \frac{2}{a} \] ### Step 2: Eliminate the Fraction Multiply both sides by \(a\) to eliminate the fraction: \[ a(2a + 3) = 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2a^2 + 3a - 2 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the Quadratic Equation Now we need to factor the quadratic equation \(2a^2 + 3a - 2 = 0\). We can look for two numbers that multiply to \(2 \times -2 = -4\) and add to \(3\). The numbers \(4\) and \(-1\) work: \[ 2a^2 + 4a - a - 2 = 0 \] Grouping gives: \[ (2a^2 + 4a) + (-a - 2) = 0 \] Factoring out common terms: \[ 2a(a + 2) - 1(a + 2) = 0 \] This can be factored as: \[ (2a - 1)(a + 2) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(a\) Setting each factor to zero gives us: 1. \(2a - 1 = 0 \implies a = \frac{1}{2}\) 2. \(a + 2 = 0 \implies a = -2\) ### Step 5: Calculate \(a^3 - \frac{1}{a^3} + 2\) Now we will calculate \(a^3 - \frac{1}{a^3} + 2\) for both values of \(a\). #### Case 1: \(a = -2\) Calculate \(a^3\): \[ a^3 = (-2)^3 = -8 \] Calculate \(\frac{1}{a^3}\): \[ \frac{1}{a^3} = \frac{1}{-8} = -\frac{1}{8} \] Now substitute into the expression: \[ -8 - \left(-\frac{1}{8}\right) + 2 = -8 + \frac{1}{8} + 2 \] Convert \(-8\) to a fraction: \[ -8 = -\frac{64}{8} \] So: \[ -\frac{64}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{16}{8} = -\frac{64 + 1 - 16}{8} = -\frac{47}{8} \] #### Case 2: \(a = \frac{1}{2}\) Calculate \(a^3\): \[ a^3 = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3 = \frac{1}{8} \] Calculate \(\frac{1}{a^3}\): \[ \frac{1}{a^3} = 8 \] Now substitute into the expression: \[ \frac{1}{8} - 8 + 2 = \frac{1}{8} - \frac{64}{8} + \frac{16}{8} = \frac{1 - 64 + 16}{8} = \frac{-47}{8} \] ### Final Answer In both cases, we find: \[ a^3 - \frac{1}{a^3} + 2 = -\frac{47}{8} \]
