Correct Answer: 6239
Solution :
Given: $x+\frac{1}{x} = 9$
Squaring both sides of the given equation, we get,
$⇒(x+\frac{1}{x})^2 = 9^2$
$⇒(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2) =81$
$⇒(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}) = 79$
Again, squaring both sides of the above equation, we get,
$⇒(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2 = (79)^2$
$⇒(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}+2) = 6241$
$⇒(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}) = 6239$
Hence, the correct answer is 6239.
