$${x}=\frac{\mathrm{8}\left(\mathrm{2}−^{\mathrm{8}} \sqrt{\mathrm{240}}\right)}{\left(\mathrm{16}+\sqrt{\mathrm{240}}\right)\left(\mathrm{16}−\sqrt{\mathrm{240}}\right)} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{\mathrm{2}−^{\mathrm{8}} \sqrt{\mathrm{240}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}−{x}=^{\mathrm{8}} \frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{240}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{8}} =\frac{\mathrm{240}}{\mathrm{256}} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{8}} }=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{240}}{\mathrm{256}}}=\frac{\mathrm{256}}{\mathrm{16}}=\mathrm{16} \\ $$

$$\left(\mathrm{2}+\sqrt[{\mathrm{8}}]{\mathrm{240}}\right)\left(\mathrm{2}−\sqrt[{\mathrm{8}}]{\mathrm{240}}\right)=\mathrm{4}−\sqrt[{\mathrm{4}}]{\mathrm{240}} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{4}−\sqrt[{\mathrm{4}}]{\mathrm{240}}\right)\left(\mathrm{4}+\sqrt[{\mathrm{4}}]{\mathrm{240}}\right)=\mathrm{16}−\sqrt{\mathrm{240}} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{16}+\sqrt{\mathrm{240}}\right)\left(\mathrm{16}−\sqrt{\mathrm{240}}\right)=\mathrm{256}−\mathrm{240}=\mathrm{16} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\boldsymbol{{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{8}\left(\mathrm{2}−\sqrt[{\mathrm{8}}]{\mathrm{240}}\right)}{\mathrm{16}}=\mathrm{1}−\frac{\sqrt[{\mathrm{8}}]{\mathrm{240}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}−\boldsymbol{{x}}\right)^{\mathrm{8}} =\left(\frac{\sqrt[{\mathrm{8}}]{\mathrm{240}}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{8}} =\frac{\mathrm{240}}{\mathrm{256}}=\frac{\mathrm{15}}{\mathrm{16}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}−\left(\mathrm{1}−\boldsymbol{{x}}\right)^{\mathrm{8}} =\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{15}}{\mathrm{16}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{16}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\left(\mathrm{1}−\boldsymbol{{x}}\right)^{\mathrm{8}} }=\mathrm{16}\:\:\:\:\:.\blacksquare \\ $$
