If \(\sqrt x + \frac{1}{{\sqrt x }} = 4\), find the value of \({x^2} + \frac{1}{{{x^2}}}\).1. 1962. 2583. 2544. 194

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 194

Given:

√ x + (1/√ x) = 4 

Calculation:

Squaring both sides,

[√ x + (1/√ x)]2 = 42 =16

x + 2 + (1/x) = 16

We get, x + (1/x) = 16 - 2 = 14      ----(1)

Squaring both sides of (1),

[x + (1/x)]2 = 142 = 196

x2 + 2 + (1/x2) = 196

x2 + (1/x2) = 194

∴ The value of x2 + (1/x2) is 194.
