![x+(1/x)=a x^2 −ax+1=0 x=((a±(√(a^2 −4)))/2) (1/x)=(2/(a±(√(a^2 −4))))=((2(a∓(√(a^2 −4))))/(a^2 −(a^2 −4)))=((a∓(√(a^2 −4)))/2) we can write x as p±(√q) and (1/x) as p∓(√q) p∈Q ⇒ x^n +(1/x^n )=[(p+(√q))^n +(p−(√q))^n ]∈Q ∀n∈Z we only need to sum up the p^i ((√q))^j with j=2k n=5 ⇒ x^5 +(1/x^5 )= =2(p^5 +10p^3 q+5pq^2 )= [p=(a/2) q=((a^2 −4)/4)] =a(a^4 −5a^2 +5)= [a=5] =2525](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q42034.png)
