If x+1/x=4 find the value of x²+1/x²​

Answer»

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

x +  \frac{1}{x}  = 4 \\  \\ square \: both \: sides \\  \\ ( {x +  \frac{1}{x} )}^{2}  = ( {4)}^{2}  \\  \\  {x}^{2}  + ( { \frac{1}{x}) }^{2}  + 2 \times x \times  \frac{1}{x}  = 16 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  +  \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} }  + 2 = 16 \\  {x}^{2}  +  \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} }  = 16 - 2 = 14
