Answer 1

✪ Question ✪

x + 1/x = 4, then the value of x² + 1/x² ?

✪ Given ✪

x+1/x = 4

✪ To find ✪

The value of x² + 1/x².

✪ Formula ✪

(a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab

✪ Solution ✪

x + 1/x = 4

⇒(x + 1/x)² = 4²

⇒x² + 1/x² + 2×x×1/x = 4 × 4

⇒x² + 1/x² + 2×x×1/x = 16

⇒x² + 1/x² + 2 = 16

⇒x² + 1/x² = 16 - 2

⇒x² + 1/x² = 14

So,

x² + 1/x² = 14

✪ Therefore ✪

The value of x² + 1/x² is 14.
