MCQ
If $\text{x}=\big(7+4\sqrt{3}\big)$ then $\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=?$
  • A
    $8\sqrt{3}$
  • ✓
    $14$
  • C
    $49$
  • D
    $48$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$14$
$\text{x}=\big(7+4\sqrt{3}\big)$
$\therefore\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{\big(7+4\sqrt{3}\big)}$
$=\frac{1}{\big(7+4\sqrt{3}\big)}\times\frac{\big(7-4\sqrt{3}\big)}{\big(7-4\sqrt{3}\big)}$
$=\frac{\big(7-4\sqrt{3}\big)}{7^2-\big(4\sqrt{3}\big)^2}$
$=\frac{7-4\sqrt{3}}{49-48}$
$=7-4\sqrt{3}$
$\therefore\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\big(7+4\sqrt{3}\big)+\big(7-4\sqrt{3}\big)=14$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$
