Question : If $x^2-3x+1=0$, what is the value of $(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4})$?

Option 1: $11$

Option 2: $18$

Option 3: $47$

Option 4: $51$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $47$


Solution : Given: $x^2-3x+1=0$
Divide both sides by $x$, we get,
$⇒ x-3+\frac{1}{x}=0$
$\therefore x+\frac{1}{x}=3$
Squaring both sides, we get,
$⇒(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=3^2$
$⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2×x×\frac{1}{x}=9$
$\therefore x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=7$
Again squaring both sides, we get,
$⇒(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=7^2$
$⇒x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}+2×x^2×\frac{1}{x^2}=49$
$⇒(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4})=49-2$
$\therefore(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4})=47$
Hence, the correct answer is $47$.

Question : What is the area of the region bounded by a straight line $9x+4y=36$, x-axis and the y-axis?

Option 1: 12 sq. units

Option 2: 18 sq. units

Option 3: 16 sq. units

Option 4: 15 sq. units

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18 sq. units


Solution :
$9x+4y=36$ can be written as
$\frac{9x+4y}{36}=1$
$⇒\frac{x}{4} + \frac{y}{9} = 1$
$\therefore$ Area = $\frac{1}{2}\times OA\times OB=\frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 9$ = 18 sq. units
Hence, the correct answer is 18 sq. units.
