If $ x-\frac{1}{x}=7 $, find the value of $ x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}} $.
Given:
\( x-\frac{1}{x}=7 \)
To do:
We have to find the value of \( x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}} \).
Solution:
We know that,
$(a-b)^3=a^3 - b^3 - 3ab(a-b)$
Therefore,
$x-\frac{1}{x}=7$
Cubing both sides, we get,
$(x-\frac{1}{x})^{3}=(7)^{3}$
$\Rightarrow x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}}-3\times x \times \frac{1}{x}(x-\frac{1}{x})=343$
$\Rightarrow x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}}-3 \times 7=343$
$\Rightarrow x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}}=343+21$
$\Rightarrow x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}}=364$
Hence, the value of $x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}}$ is 364.
