Solution
It is given that
x
=
3
−
2
√
2
, and we have to find find
x
4
, so we first find
x
2
that is
(
3
−
2
√
2
)
2
as follows:
(
3
−
2
√
2
)
2
=
{
(
3
)
2
+
(
2
√
2
)
2
−
(
2
×
3
×
2
√
2
)
}
{
∵
(
a
−
b
)
2
=
(
a
2
+
b
2
−
2
a
b
)
}
=
{
9
+
8
−
(
12
√
2
)
}
=
17
−
12
√
2
Therefore,
x
2
=
17
−
12
√
2
Now, let us find
x
4
=
(
x
2
)
2
that is:
(
17
−
12
√
2
)
2
=
{
(
17
)
2
+
(
12
√
2
)
2
−
(
2
×
17
×
12
√
2
)
}
{
∵
(
a
−
b
)
2
=
(
a
2
+
b
2
−
2
a
b
)
}
=
{
289
+
288
−
(
408
√
2
)
}
=
577
−
408
√
2
Thus,
x
4
=
577
−
408
√
2
Now we will find the value of
x
4
+
1
x
4
as shown below:
x

x

=
