Answer:
[tex] 23[/tex]
Explanation:
Use: $(a+b)^2= a^2+2 ab+b^2$
Square both sides:
[tex] \Big( x+\frac{1}{x}\Big)^2=5^2\\
\implies x^2+2(x) \Big(\frac{1}{x}\Big) +\frac{1}{x^2}=25\\
\implies x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=25-2=\boxed {\color{red}{23}}[/tex]
Answer:
The answer is 23.
Explanation:
You square the 1st expression and you will get the 2nd expression :
[tex] {(x + \frac{1}{x}) }^{2} = {5}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} + 2(x)( \frac{1}{x}) + { (\frac{1}{x}) }^{2} = 25 [/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} + 2 + \frac{1}{{x}^{2}} = 25 [/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} + \frac{1}{{x}^{2}} = 23 [/tex]
