If x + 1/x = 5, find the value of x^3 + 1/x^3.

Find the Value Using Identity Find the Value \[ x+\frac{1}{x}=5 \] Find: \[ x^3+\frac{1}{x^3} \] Solution: Using identity: \[ a^3+b^3=(a+b)^3-3ab(a+b) \] Here, \[ a=x,\quad b=\frac{1}{x} \] \[ ab=x\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)=1 \] \[ x^3+\frac{1}{x^3} = \left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^3 -3\left(x\cdot\frac{1}{x}\right)\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right) \] \[ = (5)^3-3(1)(5) \] \[ = 125-15 \] \[ =110 \] Next Question / Full Exercise
