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

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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.
