Question

Find m^4+(1/m^4) if m-(1/m)=3 Please help with this.

Answer 1

m^4+(1/m^4)= 123.4641 or 118.6

Explanation:

m-(1/m)=3

m² - 1= 3m

m² -3m -1= 0

m = (3-√13)/2 = -0.3

Or

m =( 3+√13)/2= 3.3

m^4+(1/m^4) for m = -0.3

= (-0.3)^4 + (1/(0.3)^4)

= 0.0081 + 123.456

= 123.4641

m^4+(1/m^4) for m = 3.3

= (3.3)^4 + (1/(3.3)^4)

= 118.5921 + 0.008432

= 118.6
