Given:-
[tex]x = 1 - \sqrt{2} [/tex]
To find :-
The value of
[tex](x - \frac{1}{x} )^{3} [/tex]
Solution:-
[tex](x - \frac{1}{x} )3 \\ = (1 - \sqrt{2} - \frac{1}{1 - \sqrt{2} } )^{3} \\ = ( \frac{ - 1 - 1}{1 - \sqrt{2} } )^{3} \\ = ( \frac{ - 2}{1 - \sqrt{2} } ) ^{3} \\ = \frac{ - 8}{7 - 3 \sqrt{2} - 2 \sqrt{2} } \\ = \frac{ - 8}{7 \sqrt{2} } [/tex]
Answer:
[tex]given \: = x \: = 1 - \sqrt{2} \\ \\ solution \: = \\ \\ {(x \: - \frac{1}{x}) }^{3} \\ \\ {(1 - \sqrt{2} - \frac{1}{1 - \sqrt{2} } )}^{3} \\ \\ { (\frac{ - 1 - 1}{1 - \sqrt{2} }) }^{3} \\ \\ \frac{ - 8}{7 - 3\sqrt{2} - 2 \sqrt{2} } \\ \\ \frac{ - 8}{7 - 5 \sqrt{2} } [/tex]
