Question

If ` x =  (7 - 4sqrt(3))`,  then the value of `(x + 1/x)` is :


Options:
A .  `3sqrt(3)`
B .  `8sqrt(3)`
C .  14
D .  `14 + 8sqrt(3)`
Answer: Option C

`x + 1/x` = `(7 - 4sqrt(3)) + (1)/((7 - 4sqrt(3)))  xx ((7 + 4sqrt(3)))/((7 + 4sqrt(3)))`

=` (7 - 4sqrt(3)) + ((7 + 4sqrt(3)))/((49 - 48))`

=`(7 - 4sqrt(3)) + (7 + 4sqrt(3))`   = 14
