If 33 x x 2 + 6 x + 1 \frac{33x}{x^{2} + 6x + 1} = 3, then find the value of x 3 x^{3} + 1 x 3 \frac{1}{x^{3}}

From the expression: 3 x 2 15 x + 3 = 0 x 2 5 x + 1 = 0 3x^{ 2 }-15x+3=0\rightarrow x^{ 2 }-5x+1=0 , therefore: x 2 + 1 = 5 x x^{2}+1=5x

We need to find: x 3 + x 3 x^{3}+x^{-3} = ( x + 1 x ) 3 3 ( x + 1 x ) \left( x+\frac { 1 }{ x } \right) ^{ 3 }-3\left( x+\frac { 1 }{ x } \right) = ( x 2 + 1 x ) 3 3 ( x 2 + 1 x ) \left( \frac { x^{ 2 }+1 }{ x } \right) ^{ 3 }-3\left( \frac { x^{ 2 }+1 }{ x } \right)

Using the expression above: x 3 + 1 x 3 = ( 5 x x ) 3 3 ( 5 x x ) x^{ 3 }+\frac { 1 }{ x^{ 3 } } =\left( \frac { 5x }{ x } \right) ^{ 3 }-3\left( \frac { 5x }{ x } \right)

x≠0: x 3 + 1 x 3 = 125 15 = 110 x^{ 3 }+\frac { 1 }{ x^{ 3 } } =125-15=110

Answer: 110 \boxed{110}

Brilliant!!!!!!

Love this question. While it may look very intricate at first, it'll be easy to solve once you know how to simultaneously solve those equations by using substitutions.

dividing 3 from both sides and then cross multiplying, we get x^2 +6x+1=11x. so x^2 + 1 =5x...dividing both sides by x we get, x+ 1/x = 5...cubing both sides we get, x^3 + (1/x)^3 + 3(x+ 1/x)=125..now putting here x+ 1/x =5, we get x^3 + (1/x)^3 +15=125...so finally the answer is x^3 + (1/x)^3 =110...

nicely done!

3x^2 + 18x + 3 = 33x

3x^2 + 3 = 15x

x + 1/x = 5

x^3 + 1/x^3 = (x + 1/x)^3 - 3(x + 1/x) = 5^3 - 3(5) = 125 - 15 = 110
