✪ 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
Here, we have to take a as x and b as 1/x.
✪ Solution ✪
x + 1/x = 4
⇒(x + 1/x)² = 4² {squaring both sides}
⇒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
✪ Hence ✪
x² + 1/x² = 14
✪ Therefore ✪
The value of x² + 1/x² is 14.
