Question : If $x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}=4 \sqrt{2}$, what is the value of $x^4-\frac{1}{x^4}?$

Option 1: $16 \sqrt{2}$

Option 2: $8\sqrt{2}$

Option 3: $24 \sqrt{2}$

Option 4: $32 \sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $24 \sqrt{2}$


Solution : $x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}=4 \sqrt{2}$
Squaring both sides, we get
$x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}-2=32$
⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=34$
Adding 2 on both sides, we get
$x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}+2=36$
⇒ ($x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2 =6^2$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=6$
Now,
$x^4-\frac{1}{x^4} = (x^2-\frac{1}{x^2} )(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})$
$= 4 \sqrt{2}\times 6 =24\sqrt{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $24\sqrt{2}$.
