- 3
Solution:
⇒ \(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=119\)
⇒ \(\left(x^2\right)^2+2 \cdot x^2 \frac{1}{-x^2}+\frac{1}{\left(-x^2\right)^2}=119\)
⇒ \(\left(x^2\right)^2+\frac{1}{\left(-x^2\right)^2}=119+2\)
⇒ \(\left(x^2\right)^2+\frac{1}{\left(x^2\right)^2}=121\)
Applying square root on both sides.
⇒ \(\sqrt{\left(x^2\right)^{x^1}+\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)^2}=\sqrt{121}\)
⇒ \(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=11\)
⇒ \(x^2+2 x \cdot \frac{1}{-x}+\left(\frac{1}{-x^2}\right)^2=11\)
⇒ \(x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}=11-2\)
⇒ \(x^2-\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^2=9\)
Applying square root on both sides.
⇒ \(\sqrt{(x)^2-\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^x}=\sqrt{9}\)
⇒ \(x-\frac{1}{x}=3\)
∴ Option (4) 3 is the correct Answer.

- 147\(\frac{1}{3}\)
- 403\(\frac{1}{3}\)
- 7\(\frac{1}{5}\)
- 5\(\frac{1}{7}\)
Solution:
3a – \(\frac{1}{5a}\) Multiplying \(\frac{5}{3}\) on both sides
⇒ \(\frac{5}{3}\left(3 a-\frac{1}{5 a}\right)=14 \times \frac{5}{3}\)
⇒ \(\frac{5}{7} \times 3 a-\frac{8}{3} \times \frac{1}{5 a}=20\)
5a – \(\frac{1}{3 a}=20\)
Squaring on Both sides
⇒ \(\left(5 a-\frac{1}{3 a}\right)^2=(20)^2\)
(5a)\(^2+\left(\frac{1}{3 a}\right)^2-2(5 a) \times\left(\frac{1}{3 a}\right)=400\)
25 \(a^2+\frac{1}{9 a^2}=400+2\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\)
= \(\frac{3(400)+10}{3}\)
= \(\frac{1200+10}{3}\)
= \(\frac{1210}{3}\)
= \(403 \cdot 33\)
∴ 25 \(a^2+\frac{1}{9 a^2}=403 \cdot \frac{1}{3}\)

Question 6. Express (a²+b²) (c²+ d²) as a sum of two square
Solution:
(a²+b²)(c²+d²)
Let us expand it a²c² + a²d² + c²b² + b²d² ⇒ (a²c² + b²d²) + (a²d² + b²c²)
Notice that both pairs have the same structure but with different terms. Each pair is a perfect square of two terms.
⇒ a²d²+ b²c²
⇒ (ad)² + (bc)²
Or,
⇒ (a²c²+b²d²)
⇒ (ac)² + (bd)²
∴ (a² + b²) (c² + d²) can be expressed as the
Sum of two squares: (ac)² +(bd)² + (ad)² + (bc)²
Question 7. If (a-3)² + (b-2)² = 0 then find the value of (a+3)² + (b+2)²

a – 3 = 0
a = 3
and
(b – 2)² =0
b – 2 = 0
b = 2
(a+3)² + (b+2)²
Now Substitute the a and b values in the above equation.
(3+3)²+(2+2)²
(6)² +(4)²
⇒ 36+16
⇒ 52
∴ (a+3)² + (b+2)² = 52

Question 8. If x² – ax – 1 = 0 then find the value of \(\left(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}\right)\)
Solution:
x² – ax – 1 = 0
⇒ x² – 1 = ax
⇒ \(\frac{x^2-1}{x}=a, \Rightarrow x-\frac{1}{x}=a\)
squaring on both sides
⇒ \(\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)^2=(a)^2\)
⇒ \(x^2-2 \cdot x\left(\frac{1}{x x}\right)+\frac{1}{x^2}=a^2\)
⇒ \(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=a^2+2\)
⇒ \(\left(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}\right)^2=\left(a^2+2\right)^2\) (squaring on both sides)
⇒ \(\left(x^2\right)^2+2\left(x^2\right)\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)^2=\left(a^2\right)^2+(2)^2+2\left(a^2\right)(2)\)
⇒ \(\left(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}\right)=a^4+4+4 a^2-2\)
⇒ \(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=a^4+4 a^2+2\)
∴ \(\left(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}\right)=a^4+4 a^2+2\)
Question 9. If a = 2017, b = 2018, and c = 2019 then Find the value of (a²+b+c²-ab-bc-ca)
Solution:
a = 2017, b = 2018, C = 2019
(a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ca)
⇒ a² + b² + c² – (ab + bc + ca)
⇒ (2017) + (2018) + (2019)² – {(2017x 2018) + (2018x 2019) + (2019×2019)}
⇒ {(4068289 + 4072324 + 407636)} – {(4070306) + (4074342) + (4072323)}
⇒ 12216974 – 12216971
⇒ 3
∴ (a² + b + c² – ab – bc – ca) = 3
Question 10. If 4x – \(\frac{1}{4x}\) = 16 then find the value of x² + \(\frac{1}{256 x^2}\)
Solution:
4x – \(\frac{1}{4x}\) = 16
Multiply with \(\frac{1}{4}\) on Both sides
⇒ \(\left(4 x-\frac{1}{4 x}\right) \times \frac{1}{4}=46 \times \frac{1}{4}\)
⇒ \(\frac{4 x}{4}-\frac{1}{16 x}=4\)
squaring on Both sides
⇒ \(\left(x-\frac{1}{16 x}\right)^2=(4)^2 \quad(a-b)^2=a^2-2 a b+b^2\)
⇒ \(x^2-2 \cdot x \cdot\left(\frac{1}{16 x}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{16 x}\right)^2=16\)
⇒ \(x^2+\frac{1}{256 x^2}=\frac{16+\frac{1}{8}}{8}\)
⇒ \(x^2+\frac{1}{256 x^2}=\frac{128+1}{8}\)
⇒ \(x^2+\frac{1}{256 x^2}=\frac{129}{8}\)
⇒ \(x^2+\frac{1}{256 x^2}=16.125\)
⇒ \(16 \frac{1}{8}\)
∴ \(x^2+\frac{1}{256 x^2}=16 \cdot \frac{1}{8}\)

Question 11. If 3(a² + b² + c²) = (a + b + c)² then Find a:b:c
Solution:
3(a² + b² + c²) = (a + b + c)²
3a² + 3b² + 3c² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca)
3a² + 3b² + 3c² – (a² + b² + c) = 2(ab + bc + ca)
3a² + 3b² + 3c² – a² – b² – c² = 2(ab + bc + ca)
2a² + 2b² + 2c² = 2(ab+bc+ca)
Dividing the equation by ‘2’ on Both sides
a² + b² + c² = ab + bc + ca
a² + b² + c² = ab – bc + ca = 0
Now Let’s Factorize and rearrange.
a² – 2ab + b² + a² – 2ac + c² + b² + 2bc + c² = 0
(a – b)² + (a-c)² + (b – c)² = 0
For the expression to be equal to zero
(a-b)² = 0
a – b = 0
and
(a-c)² = 0
a – c = 0
and
(b-c)² = 0
b – c = 0
This implies. a=b = c
∴ The ratio of a:b:c is 1:1:1
Question 13. Express \(\left(x^2-\frac{1}{y^2}\right)\left(y^2-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)\) as a perfect square
Solution:
⇒ \(\left(x^2-\frac{1}{y^2}\right)\left(y^2-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)\)
⇒ \(x^2\left(y^2-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)-\frac{1}{y^2}\left(y^2-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)\)
⇒ \(x^2 y^2-\frac{x^2}{x^2}-\frac{y^2}{x^2}+\frac{1}{x^2 y^2}\)
⇒ \(x^2 y^2-1-1+\frac{1}{x^2 y^2}\)
⇒ \(x^2 y^2-2+\frac{1}{x^2 y^2}\)
⇒ \(x^2 y^2-2(x y)\left(\frac{1}{x^2 y}\right)+\frac{1}{x^2 y^2}\)
(\(a^2-2 a b+b^2=(a-b)^2\); \(a^2=x^2 x^2\); \(b^2=\frac{1}{x^2 y^2}\))
⇒ \(\left(x y-\frac{1}{x y}\right)^2\)
∴ \(\left(x^2-\frac{1}{y^2}\right)\left(y^2-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)=\left(x y-\frac{1}{x y}\right)^2\)
Question 15. Express the following as a perfect square and hence Find the values
1. \(\frac{169}{a^2}-\frac{104}{a b}+\frac{16}{b^2}\) when a = 13, and b=-4
Solution:
⇒ \(\frac{169}{(13)^2}-\frac{104}{(13)(-4)}+\frac{16}{(-4)^2}\)
⇒ \(\frac{169}{169}-\frac{104}{-52}+\frac{16}{16}\)
⇒ \(1+\frac{104}{52}+1\)
⇒ 1 + 2 + 1
⇒ 4
∴ \(\frac{169}{a^2}-\frac{104}{a b}+\frac{16}{b^2}=4\)
2. \(121 a^2 b^2-66 a b+9\) when a = 1 b = -1
Solution:
⇒ \(121(1)^2(-1)^2-66(1)(-1)+9\)
⇒ 121+66+9
⇒ 196
∴ \(121 a^2 b^2-66 a b+9=196\)

⇒ \(\left(a^2+a b+b^2\right)\left(a^2-a b+b^2\right)\left(a^4+a^2 b^2+b^4\right)\)
⇒ \(\left\{\left(a^2+b^2\right)+a b\right\}\left\{\left(a^2+b^2\right)-a b\right\}\left(a^4+a^2 b^2+b^4\right)\)

⇒ \(\left\{\left(a^4+a^2 b^2+b^4\right)\right\}\left\{\left(a^4+a^2 b^2+b^4\right)\right\}\)
⇒ \(\left(a^4+a^2 b^2+b^4\right)^2\)
⇒ \(\left(a^4\right)^2+\left(a^2 b^2\right)^2+\left(b^4\right)^2 \Rightarrow\left(a^4 \times a^4\right)+a^2 b^2 \times a^2 b^2+b^4 \times b^4\)
⇒ \(a^8+a^4 \cdot b^4+b^8\) (\(a^m \cdot a^n=a^{m+n}\))
∴ \(\left(a^2+a b+b^2\right)\left(a^2-a b+b^2\right)\left(a^4+a^2 b^2+b^4\right)=a^8+a^2 b^4+b^8\)
Question 17. If a + b = 10, and a – b = 4, then find the value of 7ab(a² + b²)
Solution:
a + b = 10
Squaring on Both sides
(a + b)² = (10)²
⇒ a² + b² + 2ab = 100
⇒ a² + b² = (100 – 2ab)
⇒ (a – b)2 2ab = (100 – 2ab)
⇒ (4)² + 2ab = 100 – 2b
⇒ 2ab + 2ab = 100 – 16
⇒ 4ab = 84
ab = \(\frac{84}{4}\)
∴ ab = 21
a² + b² = 100 – 2ab
= 100 – 2(21)
=100 – 42
∴ a² + b² = 58
7ab(a² + b²) = 7(21)(58)
7ab(a²+b²)= 8526
