Question

Find the value of (a2+a21)4+(a2a21)4.

Open in App
Solution

Putting a2=x and a21=y, we have

(a2+a21)4+(a2a21)4

=(x+y)4+(xy)4

=[4C0x4+4C1x3y+4C2x2y2+4C3xy3+4C4y4]+[4C0x44C1x3y+4C2x2y24C3xy3+4C4y4]

=2[4C0x4+4C2x2y2+4C4y4]

=2[x4+6x2y2+y4]

=2[(a2)4+(a2)2(a21)2+(a21)4]

=2[a8+6a4(a21)+(a21)2]

=2[a8+6a66a4+a42a2+1]

=2[a8+6a65a42a2+1]
