Question:

If $x - y = 4 $ and $x^3 - y^3 = 316 $, then the value of $x^4 + y^4 $ is :

Options:

2248

2482

2428

2284

Correct Answer:

2482

Explanation:

 x - y = 4

x3 – y3 = 316

We know that,

x3 – y3 = (x - y)[(x - y)2 + 3xy]

= 316 = 4[(x - y)2 + 3xy]

= 79 = [16 + 3xy]

= 63 = 3xy

= xy = 21

= x = 7

then, y = 3

x4 + y4 = 74 + 34 = 2482
