另外的解,比较传统
由已知题(1)a+1/a=3
a^2+1/a^2=7
a^3+1/a^3=18
求题(2)a^5+1/a^5=?
解:因(a+1/a)^2(a+1/a)^3=243
(a+1/a)^2(a+1/a)^3=a^5+1/a^5+5(a^3+1/a^3)+10(a+1/a)=243
故a^5+1/a^5=243-5*18+10*3=123
a+1/a=3
a^2+1/a^2=(a+1/a)^2-2=7
a^3+1/a^3=(a+1/a)(a^2-1+1/a^2)=3*6=18
a^5+1/a^5=(a^2+1/a^2)(a^3+1/a^3)-(a+1/a)
=7*18-3
=123
