    If \[x=3+2\sqrt{2},\]then \[\frac{{{x}^{6}}+{{x}^{4}}+{{x}^{2}}+1}{{{x}^{3}}}\] is equal to

    A) 216                              

    B) 192  

    C) 198                              

    D) 204

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[x=3+2\sqrt{2}=3+\sqrt{8}\]
    and       \[\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{8}}\times \frac{3-\sqrt{8}}{3-\sqrt{8}}\]
    \[=\frac{3-\sqrt{8}}{9-8}=(3-\sqrt{8})\]
    Now, \[\frac{{{x}^{6}}+{{x}^{4}}+{{x}^{2}}+1}{{{x}^{3}}}=\frac{{{x}^{3}}\left( {{x}^{3}}+x+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}} \right)}{{{x}^{3}}}\]
    \[=x\,\,({{x}^{2}}+1)+\frac{1}{x}\left( \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}+1 \right)\]                       … (i)
    Now, putting the values of x and \[\frac{1}{x}\] in Eq. (i), we get
    \[=(3+\sqrt{8})\times [{{(3+\sqrt{8})}^{2}}+1]\]
    \[+\,\,(3-\sqrt{8})[{{(3-\sqrt{8})}^{2}}+1]\]
                \[=(3+\sqrt{8})(9+8+6\sqrt{8}+1)\]
                                        \[+\,\,(3-\sqrt{8})(9+8-6\sqrt{8}+1)\]
    \[=(3+\sqrt{8})(18+6\sqrt{8})+(3-\sqrt{8})\,\,(18-6\sqrt{8})\]
    \[=(3+\sqrt{8})\,\,6\,(3+\sqrt{8})+(3-\sqrt{8})\,\,6\,\,(3-\sqrt{8})\]
     \[=6{{(3+\sqrt{8})}^{2}}+6{{(3-\sqrt{8})}^{2}}\]
    \[=6\,\,[{{(3+\sqrt{8})}^{2}}+{{(3-\sqrt{8})}^{2}}]\]
    \[=6\times [9+8+6\sqrt{8}+9+8-6\sqrt{8}]\]
    \[=6\times 34=204\]
