Question
Question: The number of real roots of \(\left( x + \frac{1}{x} \right)^{3} + \left( x + \frac{1}{x} \right)\)=...
The number of real roots of (x+x1)3+(x+x1)= 0 is-
A
0
B
2
C
4
D
6
Answer
0
Explanation
Solution
Let x + (1/x) = t
t3 + t = 0 ⇒ t(t2 + 1) = 0
⇒ t = 0 Q t2 + 1 ≠ 0
⇒ x + (1/x) = 0
⇒ x2 + 1 = 0 ⇒ not possible
⇒ real solution are = 0
