Prove that if x + (1/x) = y + 1, then (((x^2 − x + 1)^2 )/(x(x − 1)^2 )) = (y^2 /(y − 1)) . Hence or otherwise solve the equation (x^2 − x + 1)^2 − 4x(x − 1)^2 = 0

after the proof: x+(1/x)=y+1∧(((x^2 −x+1)^2 )/(x(x−1)^2 ))=(y^2 /(y−1)) ⇒ ⇒ (x^2 −x+1)^2 −4x(x−1)^2 =0 can be written as (y^2 /(y−1))−4=0 ⇒ y^2 −4y+4=0 ⇒ (y−2)^2 =0 ⇒ y=2 x+(1/x)=y+1 ⇒ x+(1/x)−3=0 ⇒ x^2 −3x+1=0 ⇒ ⇒ x=(3/2)±((√5)/2)

Very simple sir! I also had tried to replace x by y but I couldn′t do it perfectly.

1)let prove that (y−1)(x^2 −x+1)^2 =y^2 x(x−1)^2 we have (y−1)(x^2 −x+1)^2 =(x+(1/x) −2) (x^2 −x+1)^2 =((x^2 −2x+1)/x)(x^2 −x+1)^2 =(((x−1)^2 (x^2 −x+1)^2 )/x) from ather side y^2 x(x−1)^2 =(x+(1/x)−1)^2 x(x−1)^2 =(((x^2 −x +1)^2 (x−1)^2 )/x) so the equality is proved . 2) we have (x^2 −x+1)^2 −4x(x−1)^2 =0 ⇔(x^2 −x+1)^2 =4x(x−1)^2 ⇒ (((x^2 −x+1)^2 )/(x(x−1)^2 )) =4 ⇒(y^2 /(y−1)) =4 with y =x +(1/x) −1 ⇒y^2 =4y−4 ⇒y^2 −4y +4 =0 ⇒(y−2)^2 =0 ⇒y =2 ⇒ x+(1/x) −1 =2 ⇒x+(1/x) =3 ⇒x^2 +1 =3x ⇒x^2 −3x+1 =0 Δ =9−4 =5 ⇒ x_1 =((3+(√5))/2) and x_2 =((3−(√5))/2) .

x+(1/x)=y+1⇒^(?) (((x^2 −x+1)^2 )/(x(x−1)^2 ))=(y^2 /(y−1)) x+(1/x)=y+1⇒y=((x^2 −x+1)/x) So, (((x^2 −x+1)^2 )/(x(x−1)^2 ))=(y^2 /(y−1)) =(((((x^2 −x+1)/x))^2 )/((((x^2 −x+1)/x))−1)) =((((x^2 −x+1)^2 )/x^2 )/((x^2 −2x+1)/x)) =(((x^2 −x+1)^2 )/x^2 )×(x/((x−1)^2 )) =(((x^2 −x+1)^2 )/(x(x−1)^2 )) (Proved) For solution of the equation see my comment below the question.
