If m-1m=5, ...

Question

If $m - \frac{1}{m} = 5$ , then find $m^{4} + \frac{1}{m^{4}}$

Open in App

Solution

Applying the formula, ${(a - b)}^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2 a b$
${(m - \frac{1}{m})}^{2} = m^{2} + {(\frac{1}{m})}^{2} - 2 m \times \frac{1}{m} = m^{2} + \frac{1}{m^{2}} - 2$
$=> m^{2} + \frac{1}{m^{2}} = {(m - \frac{1}{m})}^{2} + 2$
Substituting $m - \frac{1}{m} = 5$ ,
$=> m^{2} + \frac{1}{m^{2}} = 5^{2} + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27$
Squaring both sides,
${(m^{2} + \frac{1}{m^{2}})}^{2} = 27 \times 27 = 729$
$m^{4} + \frac{1}{m^{4}} + 2 \times m^{2} \times (\frac{1}{m^{2}}) = 729$
$m^{4} + \frac{1}{m^{4}} + 2 = 729$
$m^{4} + \frac{1}{m^{4}} = 727$
