Dear student
We have x=a12+a-12,y=a12-a-12To find : x4-x2y2-1+y4-x2y2+1Consider,x+y=a12+a-12+a12-a-12x+y=2a  ...1Now consider, x-y=a12+a-12-a12-a-12=a12+a-12-a12+a-12=2a  ...2Consider, x4-x2y2-1+y4-x2y2+1= x4-x2y2+y4-x2y2=x4+y4-2x2y2=x2-y22    using a-b2=a2+b2-2ab=x-yx+y2    using a2-b2=a+ba-b=2a×2a2    using 1 and 2=42=16
