Answer

Given,

x=15xx(5x)=15xx2=1x2+1=5xx2+1x=5xxx+1x=5.\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{1}{5 - x} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x(5 - x) = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 5x - x^2 = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 + 1 = 5x \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2 + 1}{x} = \dfrac{5x}{x} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x + \dfrac{1}{x} = 5.

By formula,

(x+1x)3=x3+1x3+3(x+1x)53=x3+1x3+3×5125=x3+1x3+15x3+1x3=12515=110.\Rightarrow \Big(x + \dfrac{1}{x}\Big)^3 = x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} + 3\Big(x + \dfrac{1}{x}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 5^3 = x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} + 3 \times 5 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 125 = x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} + 15 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} = 125 - 15 = 110.

Hence, x3+1x3=110.x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} = 110.
