If then is equal to
If \( x+\frac{1}{x}=4, \) then \( x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}} \) is equal to
- A. 196
- B. 194
- C. 192 \)
- D. 19
Step-by-step solution
Given x + 1/x = 4. Squaring gives x^2 + 1/x^2 + 2 = 16, so x^2 + 1/x^2 = 14. Squaring again: (x^2 + 1/x^2)^2 = x^4 + 1/x^4 + 2 = 196, hence x^4 + 1/x^4 = 194.
