Question : If $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=\frac{7}{4}$ for $x>0$; then what is the value of $x+\frac{1}{x}$?

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{15}}{2}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{5}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{15}}{2}$


Solution : Given: $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=\frac{7}{4}$
$⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2=\frac{7}{4}+2$ [adding 2 on both sides]
$⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2×x^2×\frac{1}{x^2}=\frac{15}{4}$
$⇒(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=\frac{15}{4}$
$\therefore (x+\frac{1}{x})=\frac{\sqrt{15}}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt{15}}{2}$.
