Question 68

The value of $$\frac{1}{\left(9 - 4\sqrt{5}\right)^2} + \frac{1}{\left(9 + 4\sqrt{5}\right)^2}$$ is:

Solution

$$\frac{1}{\left(9 - 4\sqrt{5}\right)^2} + \frac{1}{\left(9 + 4\sqrt{5}\right)^2}=\frac{1}{81+80-72\sqrt{5}}+\frac{1}{81+80+72\sqrt{5}}$$

$$=\frac{1}{161-72\sqrt{5}}+\frac{1}{161+72\sqrt{5}}$$

$$=\frac{161+72\sqrt{5}+161-72\sqrt{5}}{161^2-\left(72\sqrt{5}\right)^2}$$

$$=\frac{322}{25921-25920}$$

$$=322$$
