Question:

If $ 1 + 4x^2 + 16x^4 = 512 $, and $ 1- 2x + 4x^2 = 64$, then the value of $1 + 2x + 4x^2 $ is :

Options:

6

8

12

10

Correct Answer:

8

Explanation:

We know that,

x4 + x2y2 + y4 = (x– xy + y2) (x2 + xy + y2)

If $ 1 + 4x^2 + 16x^4 = 512 $,

$ 1- 2x + 4x^2 = 64$

then the value of $1 + 2x + 4x^2 $ = \(\frac{512}{64}\) = 8
