MCQ
If $\tan\text{A}+\cot\text{A}=4,$ then $\tan^4\text{A}+\cot^4\text{A}$ is equal to:
  • A
    110
  • B
    191
  • C
    80
  • 194

Answer

Correct option: D.
194
We have:
$\tan\text{A}+\cot\text{A}=4$
squaring both the sides:
$(\tan\text{A}+\cot\text{A})^2=4^2$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\text{A}+\cot^2\text{A}+2(\tan\text{A})(\cot\text{A})=16$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\text{A}+\cot^2\text{A}+2=16$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\text{A}+\cot\text{A}=14$
squaring both the sides again:
$(\tan^2\text{A}+\cot^2\text{A})^2=14^2$
$\tan^4\text{A}+\cot^4\text{A}+2(\tan^2\text{A})(\cot^2\text{A})=196$
$\Rightarrow\tan^4\text{A}+\cot^4\text{A}+2=196$
$\Rightarrow\tan^4\text{A}+\cot^4\text{A}=194$
