set X=x^2 ≥0  X+(1/X)=34    (X−(1/X))^2 =(X+(1/X))^2 −4=34^2 −2^2 =36×32  ⇒  X−(1/X)=±24(√2)    X^2 −(1/X^2 )=(X+(1/X))(X−(1/X))=34×(±24(√2))  =±816(√2)

ThankS!  You lost one answer by taking only +ve  squareroot of 1331712 :      (x^4 −(1/x^4 ))=(√(1331712))  You should have written                     (x^4 −(1/x^4 ))=±(√(1331712))=±816(√2)
