Question : If $\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)=10$, what is the value of $\left(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}\right)?$
Option 1: 9604
Option 2: 9602
Option 3: 9600
Option 4: 9606
Correct Answer: 9602
Solution : Given: $\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)=10$ Squaring both sides, we get: ⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=10^2$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=100-2 = 98$ Squaring both sides, we get: ⇒ $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=98^2$ ⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=9604-2$ $\therefore x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=9602$ Hence, the correct answer is 9602.
