x = 3 - \(\sqrt{3}\) x2 = (3 - \(\sqrt{3}\))2 = 9 + 3 - 6\(\sqrt{34}\) = 12 - 6\(\sqrt{3}\) = 6(2 - \(\sqrt{3}\)) ∴ x2 + \(\frac{36}{x^2}\) = 6(2 - \(\sqrt{3}\)) + \(\frac{36}{6(2 - \sqrt{3})}\) 6(2 - \(\sqrt{3}\)) + \(\frac{6}{2 - \sqrt{3}}\) = 6(- \(\sqrt{3}\)) + \(\frac{6(2 + \sqrt{3})}{(2 - \sqrt{3})(2 + \sqrt{3})}\) = 6(2 - \(\sqrt{3}\)) + \(\frac{6(2 + \sqrt{3})}{4 - 3}\) 6(2 - \(\sqrt{3}\)) + 6(2 + \(\sqrt{3}\)) = 12 + 12 = 24
