If x4 +\(\frac{1}{{x}^{4}}\) = 9602
find the value of x - \(\frac{1}{x}\)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
x4+\(\frac{1}{{x}^{4}}\) = 9602
x2+\(\frac{1}{{x}^{2}}\) =\(\sqrt {9602+2}\)=98
[If x4+\(\frac{1}{{x}^{4}}\) = m than x2+\(\frac{1}{{x}^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt {m+2}=z\) and x-\(\frac{1}{x}\) =\(\sqrt {z-2}\)
x-\(\frac{1}{x}\) = \(\sqrt {98-2}\)=\(\sqrt {96}\)
x-\(\frac{1}{x}\) =4\(\sqrt {6}\)
