What is the initial equation given in the problem?

• x^2 + x^-2 = 5

• x^2 - x^-2 = 5

• x^2 / x^-2 = 5

• x^2 * x^-2 = 5

What expression are we trying to find the value of?

• x^4 + x^-4

• x^3 + x^-3

• x^5 + x^-5

• x^6 + x^-6

Which rule is used to simplify x^-n?

• a^n = 1/a^-n

• a^-n = 1/a^n

• a^-n = -a^n

• a^-n = a^n

What algebraic identity is used to solve the left side of the equation?

• (a - b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab - b^2
