    If \[({{x}^{4}}+{{x}^{-\,4}})=322\] what is one of the value of \[(x-{{x}^{-\,1}})?\]

    A) 18                                

    B) 16

    C) 8                                 

    D) 4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[{{x}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}}=322\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\left( {{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{2}}-2=322\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\left( {{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{2}}=322={{18}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}=18\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{2}}+2=18\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x-\frac{1}{x}=4\]
