Factorize:

Question:

Factorize:

$x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}-2-3 x+\frac{3}{x}$

 

Solution:

We have :

$x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}-2-3 x+\frac{3}{x}$

$=x^{2}-2+\frac{1}{x^{2}}-3 x+\frac{3}{x}$

$=(x)^{2}-2 \times x \times \frac{1}{x}+\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{2}-3\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)$

$=\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)^{2}-3\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)$

$=\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)\left(x-\frac{1}{x}-3\right)$
