a )Expand (x+x^-1)^2
(x+x^-1)^2
=x^2+2+x^-2
注: (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
b )given that x + x^-1 = 5 ,determine x^2 + x^-2
x2+x^-2
= (x+x^-1)^2-2 (By part a)
= 5^2-2
=23
question2
If x+ 1/x = 5, find x^2/x^4+x^2+1
[注:我當係x^2/(x^4+x^2+1)]
x^2/(x^4+x^2+1)
= [(x^4+x^2+1)/x^2 ]^-1
=[x^2+1+x^-2]^-1
=1/(1+23) (By part 1b)
=1/24
question3
2^2x+1 + 2^2x-1 = 203
find x
2 (2^2X) + 0.5 (2^2X) = 203
2.5 (2^2X) = 203
2^2X = 81.2
2x log2 = log 81.2
x= log81.2 / (2log2)
x=3.1717 (corr. to 4 dp.)
question4
2^x+3 +2^x = 9/16
find x
2^x+3 + 2^x = 9/16
8 (2^X) + 2^x = 9/16
9 (2^x) = 9/16
2^x = 1/16
X = -4
