If x4 + 1 = 119 ,and x > l, then the value of x3

Home » Aptitude » Algebra » Question

Using Rule1 and 8,

x⁴ +	1	= 119
	x⁴

⇒		x² +	1		²	- 2 = 119
			x²

⇒		x² +	1		²	= 121
			x²

⇒ x² +	1	= 11
	x²

⇒		x -	1		²	+ 2 = 11
			x

⇒		x -	1		²	= 9
			x

⇒ x -	1	= 3
	x

∴ x³ -	1	- 3		x -	1		= 27
	x³				x

⇒ x³ -	1	- 3 × 3 = 27
	x³

⇒ x³ -	1	= 27 + 9 = 36
	x³

If x⁴ +	1	= 119 ,and x > l, then the value of x³ -		1	is
	x⁴			x³
