Question 121

If $$x = 2 + \sqrt{3}, y = 2 - \sqrt{3}$$, then the valuer of $$\frac{x^2 + y^2}{x^3 + y^3}$$ is 

Solution

$$\frac{x^2 + y^2}{x^3 + y^3}$$
 or $$\frac{(x + y)^2 - 2xy}{(x + y)^3 - 3xy(x+y)}$$
as x+y = 4
and xy = 1
Now after putting values of x+y and xy and solving, we will get its value as 7/26.
