Correct Answer: $2 \cos 3θ$
Solution : Given: $x+\frac{1}{x}=2 \cos \theta$. Cubing both sides, we get: $⇒\left(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}\right) + 3\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right) = 8\cos^3 \theta$ Putting the values, we get: $⇒x^3+\frac{1}{x^3} = 8\cos^3 \theta- 3(2 \cos \theta)$ $⇒x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}= 8\cos^3 \theta- 6 \cos \theta$ $⇒x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=2(4\cos^3 \theta- 3 \cos \theta)$ $⇒x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=2 \cos 3 \theta$ Hence, the correct answer is $2 \cos 3 \theta$.
