Hello Max!
\(\text{What's } (x+\frac{1}{x})^4 \text{ ?}\)
\( (x+\frac{1}{x})^4 \) = \((x^{2} + \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{x^{2} })^{2} \)
\(= x^{4} + \frac{x^{3} }{2}+ 1 + \frac{x^{3} }{2}+\frac{x^{2} }{4} + \frac{1}{2x}+ 1 + \frac{1}{2x}+ \frac{1}{x^{4} } \)
\(= x^{4}+ x^{3} + 2+ \frac{x^{2} }{4} + x+ \frac{1}{x^{4} } \)
