Question:

If $4 x^4=5 x^2-1, x>\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, then what is the value of $\left(2 x^2-x-1\right)$ ?

Options:

1

-2

0

2

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

4x4 - 5x2 + 1 = 0

= 4x4 - 4x2 - x+ 1 = 0

= 4x2(x- 1) – 1(x2 - 1) = 0

= (x2 - 1)(4x– 1) = 0

= (x2 - 1) = 0 (4x2 – 1) = 0

x - 1 = 0

2x – 1 = 0

x = 1

another  value of x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

(2x2 - x - 1)

Put x = 1

2 × 1 - 1 - 1

= 2 - 2 = 0
