Question : If $x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}=16$, then what is the value of $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}$?

Option 1: $3 \sqrt{2}$

Option 2: $2 \sqrt{2}$

Option 3: $5 \sqrt{2 }$

Option 4: $4 \sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3 \sqrt{2}$


Solution : Given, $x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}=16$
Adding 2 on both sides,
$x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}+2=16+2$
⇒ $x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}+2(x^2× \frac{1}{x^2})=18$
⇒ $(x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}})^2=18$
⇒ $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}=3\sqrt{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $3\sqrt{2}$.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Such examples of commercial success, of innovation, drive, vision, determination, adaptability, and adventure are anchored in the basic Indian openness to and talent for acquiring material wealth. For every success story, there are, of course, dozens of failures.
