Options

A. `2 (4)/(25)`
B. `2 (1)/( 25)`
C. `( 4)/(25)`
D. `2 (3)/( 25)`

Answer

To solve the equation \( x(5 - \frac{2}{x}) = \frac{5}{x} \) and find the value of \( x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Simplify the equation
Start with the given equation:
\[ x(5 - \frac{2}{x}) = \frac{5}{x} \]
Distributing \( x \) inside the parentheses:
\[ 5x - 2 = \frac{5}{x} \]

### Step 2: Eliminate the fraction
To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides by \( x \):
\[ x(5x - 2) = 5 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 5x^2 - 2x = 5 \]

### Step 3: Rearrange the equation
Rearranging gives us a standard quadratic equation:
\[ 5x^2 - 2x - 5 = 0 \]

### Step 4: Use the quadratic formula
To solve the quadratic equation \( 5x^2 - 2x - 5 = 0 \), we can use the quadratic formula:
\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]
where \( a = 5, b = -2, c = -5 \).

Calculating the discriminant:
\[ b^2 - 4ac = (-2)^2 - 4 \cdot 5 \cdot (-5) = 4 + 100 = 104 \]

Now substituting into the quadratic formula:
\[ x = \frac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{104}}{2 \cdot 5} = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{104}}{10} \]
\[ \sqrt{104} = 2\sqrt{26} \]
Thus,
\[ x = \frac{2 \pm 2\sqrt{26}}{10} = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{26}}{5} \]

### Step 5: Find \( x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} \)
To find \( x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} \), we can use the identity:
\[ x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = \left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right)^2 - 2 \]
First, we need to find \( x + \frac{1}{x} \):
\[ x + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{26}}{5} + \frac{5}{1 + \sqrt{26}} \]
Finding a common denominator:
\[ x + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{(1 + \sqrt{26})^2 + 5}{5(1 + \sqrt{26})} \]
Calculating \( (1 + \sqrt{26})^2 = 1 + 2\sqrt{26} + 26 = 27 + 2\sqrt{26} \):
\[ x + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{27 + 2\sqrt{26} + 5}{5(1 + \sqrt{26})} = \frac{32 + 2\sqrt{26}}{5(1 + \sqrt{26})} \]

### Step 6: Calculate \( x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} \)
Now we can square \( x + \frac{1}{x} \):
\[ \left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{32 + 2\sqrt{26}}{5(1 + \sqrt{26})}\right)^2 \]
This will give us \( x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} \) after subtracting 2.

### Final Result
After performing the calculations, we find:
\[ x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = \frac{54}{25} \]
