    Explanation

    x = √6 + √5 And 1x=16  +  5\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 6 {\rm{\;}} + {\rm{\;}}\sqrt 5 }} =  6  −  5(6+  5)(6  −  5)= \;\frac{{\sqrt 6 \; - \;\sqrt 5 }}{{\left( {\sqrt 6 + \;\sqrt 5 } \right)\left( {\sqrt 6 \; - \;\sqrt 5 } \right)}} (Multiplying by 6−56−5\frac{{\sqrt 6 - \sqrt 5 }}{{\sqrt 6 - \sqrt 5 }} ) =6  −  56  −  5= \frac{{\sqrt 6 \; - \;\sqrt 5 }}{{6\; - \;5}} = √6 - √5 ∴ x – (1/x) = √6 + √5 - √6 + √5 = 2√5 ∴ x 3 – (1/x) 3 = [x – (1/x)] 3 + 3[x – (1/x)] = (2√5) 3 + 3 × 2√5 = 40√5 + 6√5 = 46√5
