Question

Ifx4 x^4​+1/x4x^4​ = 6239, and x > 0, then the value of x + 1/x is:

A.

9

B.

10

C.

1/√12

D.

√6239

Correct option is A

Given:

x4 x^4​​+1/x4x^4​​= 6239

Formula Used:

(x+1x\frac{1}{x}​)2^2=x2+1x2+2x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2

Solution:

x4 x^4​​​+1/x4x^4+2= 6239+2

(x2+1x2x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}​)2^2=6241

x2+1x2=x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=79

2+x2+1x2=x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=79+2

(x+1x\frac{1}{x}​)2^2=x2+1x2+2x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2 

(x+1x\frac{1}{x}​​)2^2 =81

x+1xx+\frac{1}{x} =9​
