Question : If $(x^2-2x+1)=0$, then the value of $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $(x^2-2x+1)=0$
⇒ $x^2+1=2x$
Divide the given equation by $x$ on both sides, we get,
⇒ $x+\frac{1}{x}=2$
On squaring the above equation on both sides, we get,
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2=4$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=2$
On squaring the above equation on both sides, we get,
⇒ $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=2^2$
⇒ $(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4})+2=4$

Question : If $\frac{8+2 \sqrt{3}}{3 \sqrt{3}+5}=a \sqrt{3}–b$, then the value of $a + b$ is equal to:

Option 1: 18

Option 2: 15

Option 3: 24

Option 4: 16

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18


Solution : Given: $\frac{8+2 \sqrt{3}}{3 \sqrt{3}+5}=a \sqrt{3}–b$
Rationalize the given fraction,
$\frac{(8+2 \sqrt{3})\times(3\sqrt3–5)}{(3 \sqrt{3}+5)\times (3\sqrt3–5)}=\frac{24\sqrt3–40+18–10\sqrt3}{27–25}$
⇒ $\frac{14\sqrt3–22}{2}=7\sqrt3–11$
Now, compare the value with the given expression $a \sqrt{3}–b$, we get,
$7\sqrt3–11=a \sqrt{3}–b$
⇒ $a=7,b=11$
The value of $a + b=7+11=18$.
Hence, the correct answer is 18.
