If $x - 3=\frac{1}{2x},$ then what is the value of $(x^4 +\frac{1}{16x^4})$ ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
We know that,
If $K+\frac{1}{K}=n$
then, $K^2+\frac{1}{K^2}$ = n2 – 2 × k × \(\frac{1}{k}\)
If $x - 3=\frac{1}{2x},$
then what is the value of $(x^4 +\frac{1}{16x^4})$ = ?
If $x - 3=\frac{1}{2x},$
then, If $x - \frac{1}{2x} =3$
so, $x^2 + \frac{1}{4x^2}$ = 32 + 2 × 1 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 10
then, $(x^4 +\frac{1}{16x^4})$ = 102 - 2 × 1 × \(\frac{1}{4}\) = $99\frac{1}{2}$
