Full solution

Q. (77) Given that y y is a positive integer and y1y=6 y-\frac{1}{y}=6 , find the value of y2+1y2 y^{2}+\frac{1}{y^{2}} .
  1. Isolate y2+1y2y^2 + \frac{1}{y^2}: Now, we need to isolate y2+1y2y^2 + \frac{1}{y^2} by adding 22 to both sides of the equation.\newliney2+1y22+2=36+2y^2 + \frac{1}{y^2} - 2 + 2 = 36 + 2\newliney2+1y2=38y^2 + \frac{1}{y^2} = 38
  2. Add 22 to both sides: We've found the value of y2+1y2y^2 + \frac{1}{y^2}.
