1. Problem Description

Given x=153x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}} and y=15+3y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}, we need to find the values of:
(1) x2+y2x^2 + y^2
(2) x3+y3x^3 + y^3
(3) yx+xy\frac{y}{x} + \frac{x}{y}
and match them with the options given.

2. Solution Steps

First, rationalize xx and yy:
x=153=5+3(53)(5+3)=5+353=5+32x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}{(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3})} = \frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}{5-3} = \frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}{2}
y=15+3=53(5+3)(53)=5353=532y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}{(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3})} = \frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}{5-3} = \frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}{2}
Now, calculate x+yx+y and xyxy:
x+y=5+32+532=252=5x+y = \frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{2} = \sqrt{5}
xy=5+32532=534=24=12xy = \frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{5-3}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
(1) x2+y2=(x+y)22xy=(5)22(12)=51=4x^2 + y^2 = (x+y)^2 - 2xy = (\sqrt{5})^2 - 2(\frac{1}{2}) = 5 - 1 = 4
The answer is ウ.
(2) x3+y3=(x+y)(x2xy+y2)=(x+y)((x+y)23xy)=(5)((5)23(12))=(5)(532)=5(1032)=5(72)=752x^3 + y^3 = (x+y)(x^2 - xy + y^2) = (x+y)((x+y)^2 - 3xy) = (\sqrt{5})((\sqrt{5})^2 - 3(\frac{1}{2})) = (\sqrt{5})(5 - \frac{3}{2}) = \sqrt{5}(\frac{10-3}{2}) = \sqrt{5}(\frac{7}{2}) = \frac{7\sqrt{5}}{2}
The answer is ク.
(3) yx+xy=x2+y2xy=(x+y)22xyxy=(5)22(12)12=5112=412=42=8\frac{y}{x} + \frac{x}{y} = \frac{x^2 + y^2}{xy} = \frac{(x+y)^2 - 2xy}{xy} = \frac{(\sqrt{5})^2 - 2(\frac{1}{2})}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{5-1}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{4}{\frac{1}{2}} = 4 \cdot 2 = 8
The answer is カ.

3. Final Answer

(1) x2+y2=4x^2 + y^2 = 4 (ウ)
(2) x3+y3=752x^3 + y^3 = \frac{7\sqrt{5}}{2} (ク)
(3) yx+xy=8\frac{y}{x} + \frac{x}{y} = 8 (カ)
