    If \[{{x}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}}=727,\] then find the value of \[{{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}.\]

    A) 140

    B) 120   

    C) 190

    D) 160

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]
    \[{{x}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}}=727\]
    Add 2 on both side, we get,
    \[{{x}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}}+2=727+2\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{\left( {{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{2}}=729\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}=\sqrt{729}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}+27\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{2}}+2=27\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[\,x-\frac{1}{x}=\sqrt{25}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x-\frac{1}{x}=5\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[{{\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{3}}={{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}-3\,\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)\]
    \[{{(5)}^{3}}={{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}-3\cdot (5)\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}=125+15=140\]
