Question
If t2 - 4t + 1 = 0, then the value of $${t^3} + \frac{1}{{{t^3}}}$$  is?
Options:
A .  44
B .  48
C .  52
D .  64
Answer: Option C
$$\eqalign{
& {t^2} - 4t + 1 = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow {t^2} + 1 = 4t \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{t^2} + 1}}{t} = \frac{{4t}}{t} \cr
& \Rightarrow t + \frac{1}{t} = 4 \cr
& \left[ {{\text{Take cube both sides}}} \right] \cr
& \Rightarrow {t^3} + \frac{1}{{{t^3}}} + 3.t.\frac{1}{t}\left( {t + \frac{1}{t}} \right) = 64 \cr
& \Rightarrow {t^3} + \frac{1}{{{t^3}}} + 3\left( 4 \right) = 64 \cr
& \Rightarrow {t^3} + \frac{1}{{{t^3}}} = 64 - 12 \cr
& \Rightarrow {t^3} + \frac{1}{{{t^3}}} = 52 \cr} $$
