Correct Answer: 2207


Solution : Given: $(x+\frac{1}{x})=3$
Squaring both sides of the above equation, we get,
⇒ $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2)=9$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=7$
Again, squaring both sides of the above equation, we get,
⇒ $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=7^2$
⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}+2=49$
⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=47$
Again, squaring both sides of the above equation, we get,
⇒ $(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4})^2=47^2$
⇒ $x^8+\frac{1}{x^8}+2=2209$
⇒ $x^8+\frac{1}{x^8}=2207$
Hence, the correct answer is 2207.
