Let $\alpha, \beta$ be the roots of the equation $x^2+2 \sqrt{2} x-1=0$. The quadratic equation, whose roots are $\alpha^4+\beta^4$ and $\frac{1}{10}\left(\alpha^6+\beta^6\right)$, is :
$x^2-190 x+9466=0$ $x^2-180 x+9506=0$ $x^2-195 x+9506=0$ $x^2-195 x+9466=0$
Solution
$\begin{aligned} & x^2+2 \sqrt{2} x-1=0 \\ & \alpha+\beta=-2 \sqrt{2} \\ & \alpha \beta=-1 \\ & \alpha^4+\beta^4=\left(\alpha^2+\beta^2\right)^2-2 \alpha^2 \beta^2 \\ & =\left((\alpha+\beta)^2-2 \alpha \beta\right)^2-2(\alpha \beta)^2 \\ & =(8+2)^2-2(-1)^2 \\ & =100-2=98 \\ & \alpha^6+\beta^6=\left(\alpha^3+\beta^3\right)^2-2 \alpha^3 \beta^3 \\ & =\left((\alpha+\beta)\left((\alpha+\beta)^2-3 \alpha \beta\right)^2-2(\alpha \beta)^3\right.\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & =(-2 \sqrt{2}(8+3))^2+2 \\ & =(8)(121)+2=970 \\ & \frac{1}{10}\left(\alpha^6+\beta^6\right)=97 \\ & x^2-(98+97) x+(98)(97)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow x^2-195 x+9506=0\end{aligned}$
