What is the value of x

il63 [147K]

the 2 angles are congruent so...

x+40=3x set the 2 equations equal to each other

40=2x subtract x from both sides

20=x divide by 2

x=20 is the final answer

Have a blessed day!

Prove that if x is an positive real number such that x + x^-1 is an integer, then x^3 + x^-3 is an integer as well.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

By closure property of multiplication and addition of integers,

If $x + \dfrac{1}{x}$ is an integer

∴ $\left ( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) ^3 = x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} +3\cdot \left (x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right )$ is an integer

From which we have;

$x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3}$ is an integer

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression for the positive integer is x + x⁻¹

The given expression can be written as follows;

$x + \dfrac{1}{x}$

By finding the given expression raised to the power 3, sing Wolfram Alpha online, we we have;

$\left ( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) ^3 = x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} +3\cdot x + \dfrac{3}{x}$

By simplification of the cube of the given integer expressions, we have;

$\left ( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) ^3 = x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} +3\cdot \left (x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right )$

Therefore, we have;

$\left ( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) ^3 - 3\cdot \left (x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right )= x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3}$

By rearranging, we get;

$x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} = \left ( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) ^3 - 3\cdot \left (x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right )$

Given that $x + \dfrac{1}{x}$ is an integer, from the closure property, the product of two integers is always an integer, we have;

$\left ( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) ^3$ is an integer and $3\cdot \left (x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right )$ is also an integer

Similarly the sum of two integers is always an integer, we have;

$\left ( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) ^3 + \left(- 3\cdot \left (x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right ) \right )$ is an integer

$\therefore x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} = \left ( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) ^3 - 3\cdot \left (x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right )= \left ( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) ^3 + \left(- 3\cdot \left (x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right ) \right )$ is an integer

From which we have;

$x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3}$ is an integer.
