Q.1) If a/b = c/d = 2/5 , then evaluate : -
[a4 + c4 / b4 + d4]1/4
Let a/b = c/d = 2/5 = k ....................(1)
a/b = c/d = k
a = bk , c = dk
According to the question put the power of 4
a4 = k4b4....................(2)
c4 = k4d4....................(3)
Add equation (2) and (3)
a4 + c4 = k4b4 + k4d4
a4 + c4 = k4(b4 + d4)
a4 + c4 / b4 + d4 = k4....................(4)
putting the value from equation (4)
[a4 + c4 / b4 + d4]1/4 = [k4]1/4
Now from equation (1)
2/5 = k
k = 2/5
