It is given that x 4 + 1 x 4 = 194 x^4 + \dfrac{1}{x^4} = 194 .

( x 2 + 1 x 2 ) 2 = x 4 + 2 + 1 x 4 = 196 \left( x^2 + \dfrac{1}{x^2} \right) ^2 = x^4 + 2 + \dfrac{1}{x^4} = 196

x 2 + 1 x 2 = 196 = 14 \Rightarrow x^2 + \dfrac{1}{x^2} = \sqrt{196} = 14

Similarly, x + 1 x = 14 + 2 = 4 x + \dfrac{1}{x} = \sqrt{14+2} = 4

( x 2 + 1 x 2 ) ( x + 1 x ) = x 3 + x + 1 x + 1 x 3 \left( x^2 + \dfrac{1}{x^2} \right) \left( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) = x^3 + x + \dfrac{1}{x} + \dfrac{1}{x^3}

x 3 + 1 x 3 = ( x 2 + 1 x 2 ) ( x + 1 x ) ( x + 1 x ) = 14 × 4 4 = 52 \Rightarrow x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} = \left( x^2 + \dfrac{1}{x^2} \right) \left( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) - \left( x + \dfrac{1}{x} \right) = 14 \times 4 - 4 = 52

x 6 + 1 x 6 = ( x 3 + 1 x 3 ) 2 2 = 5 2 2 2 = 2702 x^6 + \dfrac{1}{x^6} = \left( x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} \right) ^2 -2 = 52^2 - 2 = 2702

Similarly, x 12 + 1 x 12 = 270 2 2 2 = 7300802 x^{12} + \dfrac{1}{x^{12}} = 2702^2 -2 = 7300802

Therefore,

x 12 + x 4 + x 3 + x 2 + x + 1 x 12 + 1 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 1 x 2 + 1 x x^{12} + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + \dfrac{1}{x^{12}} + \dfrac{1}{x^4} + \dfrac{1}{x^3} + \dfrac{1}{x^2} + \dfrac{1}{x}

= 7300802 + 194 + 52 + 14 + 4 = 7301066 = 7300802 + 194 + 52 + 14 + 4 = \boxed{7301066}

this is a highly overrated question.

Shiva mann, I agree. That's why I like provide solutions to help others.

Chew-Seong Cheong - 6 years, 8 months ago

hey.. 7300802+2702+194+52+14+4 is not 7301066

I think You shouldn't put 2702 on it. because the question didn't ask you to sum x 6 + 1 x 6 x^6+\dfrac{1}{x^6}

Given that x 4 + 1 x 4 = 194 . \boxed{x^4+\dfrac{1}{x^4}=194}.

( x 2 + 1 x 2 ) 2 = 1 4 2 x 2 + 1 x 2 = 14 . \Rightarrow (x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}) ^2 = 14^2 \Rightarrow \boxed{x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}=14}.

Now , from the conclusion that x 2 + 1 x 2 = 14 , x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}=14, we will add 2 2 on both sides .

Now , ( x + 1 x ) 2 = 4 2 x + 1 x = 4 . (x+\dfrac{1}{x})^2=4^2 \Rightarrow\boxed { x+\dfrac{1}{x} = 4}.

x 3 + 1 x 3 + 3 ( x + 1 x ) = ( x + 1 x ) 3 x 3 + 1 x 3 = 52 . x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3} + 3(x+\dfrac{1}{x})=(x+\dfrac{1}{x})^3 \Rightarrow \boxed{x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}=52}.

Squaring x 4 + 1 x 4 = 194 x^4+\dfrac{1}{x^4}=194 on both sides ,We get,

x 8 + 1 x 8 = 37636 2 x 8 + 1 x 8 = 37634. x^8+\dfrac{1}{x^8}=37636-2 \Rightarrow x^8+\dfrac{1}{x^8}=37634.

Now, ( x 8 + 1 x 8 ) ( x 4 + 1 x 4 ) = x 12 + 1 x 12 + x 4 + 1 x 4 . (x^8+\dfrac{1}{x^8})(x^4+\dfrac{1}{x^4})=x^{12}+\dfrac{1}{x^{12}}+x^4+\dfrac{1}{x^4}.

Now, by substituting the respective values ,we get,

x 12 + 1 x 12 = 7300802 . \boxed{x^{12}+\dfrac{1}{x^{12}}=7300802}.

Now,the given question is find x 12 + x 4 + x 3 + x 2 + x + 1 x 12 + 1 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 1 x 2 + 1 x { x }^{ 12 }+{ x }^{ 4 }+{ x }^{ 3 }+{ x }^{ 2 }+x+{ \dfrac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 12 } } +\dfrac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 4 } } }+{ \dfrac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 3 } } }+{ \dfrac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 2 } } }+{ \dfrac { 1 }{ { x } } } ,

Which can easily be obtained by adding all the values in the boxes,that is 7300802 + 194 + 52 + 14 + 4 = 7301066. 7300802+194+52+14+4 = 7301066.
