If $x^4 + x^2y^2 + y^4 = \frac{21}{256}$ and $x^2 + xy + y^2 = \frac{3}{16}$ then $2(x^2 + y^2) =$ |
$\frac{5}{16}$ $\frac{5}{8}$ $\frac{3}{8}$ $\frac{3}{4}$ |
$\frac{5}{8}$ |
If $x^4 + x^2y^2 + y^4 = \frac{21}{256}$ $x^2 + xy + y^2 = \frac{3}{16}$-----(A) then $2(x^2 + y^2) =$ ? x4 + x2y2 + y4 = (x2 – xy + y2) (x2 + xy + y2) comparing the equations we get, $x^2 - xy + y^2 = \frac{21}{256} \times \frac{16}{3} $ = $\frac{7}{16}$----(B) From equations A and B = 2(x2 + y2) = $\frac{7}{16}$ + $\frac{3}{16}$ so, 2(x2 + y2) = ($\frac{7}{16}$ + $\frac{3}{16}$) 2(x2 + y2) = (\(\frac{10}{16}\)) = \(\frac{5}{8}\) |
