Question : if $x+\frac{1}{x}=2$, then the value of $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}$=__________.
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 2
Option 3: –1
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $x+\frac{1}{x}=2$ Squaring both sides, we get ⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=2^2$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2\times x\times\frac{1}{x}=4$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=4-2$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=2$ Again squaring both sides, we get: ⇒ $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=2^2$ ⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}+2\times x^2\times\frac{1}{x^2}=4$ ⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=4-2$ ⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=2$ Hence, the correct answer is 2.
