Correct Answer: $x+x^{–1}$
Solution : Given: $(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+x^{-\frac{1}{3}})(x^{\frac{2}{3}}-1+x^{-\frac{2}{3}})$ $=x^{\frac{1}{3}}×x^{\frac{2}{3}}-x^{\frac{1}{3}}+x^{\frac{1}{3}}×x^{-\frac{2}{3}}+x^{-\frac{1}{3}}×x^{\frac{2}{3}}-x^{-\frac{1}{3}}+x^{-\frac{1}{3}}×x^{-\frac{2}{3}}$ $=x^{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{3}}-x^{\frac{1}{3}}+x^{\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{3}}+x^{-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{3}}-x^{-\frac{1}{3}}+x^{-\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{3}}$ $=x^1-x^{\frac{1}{3}}+x^{-\frac{1}{3}}+x^{\frac{1}{3}}-x^{-\frac{1}{3}}+x^{-1}$ $=x+x^{-1}$ Hence, the correct answer is $x+x^{-1}$.
