Question
If $$x = \root 3 \of {2 + \sqrt 3 } {\text{,}}$$    then the value of $${x^3}{\text{ + }}\frac{1}{{{x^3}}}$$   is?
Options:
A .  8
B .  9
C .  2
D .  4
Answer: Option D
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{ }}x = \root 3 \of {2 + \sqrt 3 } \cr
& {x^3} = 2 + \sqrt 3 \cr
& \frac{1}{{{x^3}}} = \frac{1}{{2 + \sqrt 3 }} \times \frac{{2 - \sqrt 3 }}{{2 - \sqrt 3 }} = 2 - \sqrt 3 \cr
& \therefore {x^3}{\text{ + }}\frac{1}{{{x^3}}} \cr
& = 2 + \sqrt 3 + 2 - \sqrt 3 \cr
& = 4 \cr} $$
