If $ X^4 +\frac{16}{x^4}= 15617, x > 0$, then find the value of $ X +\frac{2}{x}$ |
$\sqrt{121}$ $\sqrt{129}$ $\sqrt{123}$ $\sqrt{127}$ |
$\sqrt{129}$ |
$ X^4 +\frac{16}{x^4}= 15617, x > 0$ If x4 + \(\frac{1}{x^4}\) = a then x2 + \(\frac{1}{x^2}\) = \(\sqrt {a + 2}\) = b and x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = \(\sqrt {b + 2}\) x2 + \(\frac{4}{x^2}\) = \(\sqrt {15617 + 2 × 4}\) =125 x + \(\frac{2}{x}\) = \(\sqrt {125 + 2 × 2}\) = \(\sqrt {129}\) |
