hello friend❤❤❤
here is your answer
x+1/x=6
(x+1/x)²=6²=36
x²+1/x²+2=36
x²+1/x²=36-2=34
(x²+1/x²)² =34²
x⁴+1/x⁴+2=1156
x⁴+1/x⁴=1156 -2=1154
hope it helped you☺☺☺

x + 1/x = 6

On squaring both sides, we get

x^2 + 1/x^2 + 2(x)(1/x) = 36

=> x^2 + 1/x^2 + 2 = 36

=> x^2 + 1/x^2 = 34

Again on squaring both sides, we get

x^4 + 1/x^4 + 2 = 1156

=> x^4 + 1/x^4 = 1154

ultramc42: So the second last line is the actual answer right?
ultramc42: thanks
gaurav2013c: the last line
ultramc42: ok
ultramc42: thanks
