The correct answer is:
$\frac{257}{4096}$
$\begin{aligned} & \text {} 16 \mathrm{x}^2-10 \mathrm{x}+1=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 16 \mathrm{x}^2-8 \mathrm{x}-2 \mathrm{x}+1=0 \\ & \Rightarrow(2 \mathrm{x}-1)(8 \mathrm{x}-1)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{8} \\ & \left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4+\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^4\right)=\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{4096}=\frac{257}{4096}\end{aligned}$
