The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( x^2 - 3\sqrt{2}x + 1 = 0 \) and find the value of \( x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Solve the quadratic equation We start with the quadratic equation: \[ x^2 - 3\sqrt{2}x + 1 = 0 \] We can use the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] where \( a = 1 \), \( b = -3\sqrt{2} \), and \( c = 1 \). ### Step 2: Calculate the discriminant First, we calculate the discriminant \( b^2 - 4ac \): \[ b^2 = (3\sqrt{2})^2 = 18 \] \[ 4ac = 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 4 \] Thus, the discriminant is: \[ b^2 - 4ac = 18 - 4 = 14 \] ### Step 3: Find the roots Now we can substitute back into the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{3\sqrt{2} \pm \sqrt{14}}{2} \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( x + \frac{1}{x} \) Next, we need to find \( x + \frac{1}{x} \). We can use the identity: \[ x + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{x^2 + 1}{x} \] From the quadratic equation, we know: \[ x^2 = 3\sqrt{2}x - 1 \] Thus: \[ x + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{(3\sqrt{2}x - 1) + 1}{x} = 3\sqrt{2} - \frac{1}{x} \] To find \( \frac{1}{x} \), we can use the roots we calculated. ### Step 5: Calculate \( x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} \) Using the identity: \[ x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = \left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right)^3 - 3\left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right) \] Let \( y = x + \frac{1}{x} \). We can find \( y \) from \( 3\sqrt{2} \). ### Step 6: Substitute and simplify Substituting \( y = 3\sqrt{2} \): \[ x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = (3\sqrt{2})^3 - 3(3\sqrt{2}) \] Calculating \( (3\sqrt{2})^3 \): \[ (3\sqrt{2})^3 = 27 \cdot 2\sqrt{2} = 54\sqrt{2} \] Now substituting back: \[ x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = 54\sqrt{2} - 9\sqrt{2} = 45\sqrt{2} \] ### Final Result Thus, the value of \( x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} \) is: \[ \boxed{45\sqrt{2}} \]
