Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(17\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text {}\left(x+\sqrt{x^4-1}\right)^9+\left(x-\sqrt{x^4-1}\right)^9 \\ & \text { Let } y=\sqrt{x^4-1} \Rightarrow y^2=x^4-1 \\ & =(x+y)^9+(x-y)^9 \\ & =2\left[{ }^9 C_1 x^1 y^8+{ }^9 C_3 x^3 y^6+{ }^9 C_5 x^5 y^4+{ }^9 C_7 x^7 \cdot y^2+{ }^9 C_9 x^7 y^0\right]…
