Given x2+x21=25 and x>0.
Using the identity (x+x1)2=x2+2+x21:
(x+x1)2=25+2=27
Since x>0:
x+x1=33
Using the identity (x+x1)3=x3+x31+3(x+x1):
x3+x31=(x+x1)3−3(x+x1)
=(33)3−3(33)
=813−93
=723
Using the identity (xa+xa1)(xb+xb1)=xa+b+xa+b1+xa−b+xa−b1:
x5+x51=(x3+x31)(x2+x21)−(x+x1)
=723×25−33
=18003−33
=17973
x7+x71=(x5+x51)(x2+x21)−(x3+x31)
=17973×25−723
=449253−723
=448533
