Given,

=x2+1x211=x2+1x229=(x1x)29=(x1x)232=(x1x+3)(x1x3).\phantom{=} x^2 + \dfrac{1}{x^2} - 11 \\[1em] = x^2 + \dfrac{1}{x^2} - 2 - 9 \\[1em] = \Big(x - \dfrac{1}{x}\Big)^2 - 9 \\[1em] = \Big(x - \dfrac{1}{x}\Big)^2 - 3^2 \\[1em] = \Big(x - \dfrac{1}{x} + 3\Big)\Big(x - \dfrac{1}{x} - 3\Big).

Hence, x2+1x211=(x1x+3)(x1x3).x^2 + \dfrac{1}{x^2} - 11 = \Big(x - \dfrac{1}{x} + 3\Big)\Big(x - \dfrac{1}{x} - 3\Big).
