Question

X=a-√b
x = a + √b
what are the values of a and b?

Answer 1

`a=x\\\\b = 0`

Step by step explanation:

`x = a - \sqrt b~~~~~~~~~~...(i)\\\\x = a + \sqrt b ~~~~~~~~~~...(ii)\\\\\text{From eq (i) and eq (ii),}\\\\~~~~a - \sqrt b = a+ \sqrt b\\\\\implies \sqrt b + \sqrt b = a-a \\\\\implies 2 \sqrt b = 0\\\\\implies \sqrt b = 0\\\\\implies b = 0\\\\\text{Substitute b = 0 in eq (i):}\\\\~~~~~~x = a- \sqrt {0}\\\\\implies x = a -0\\\\\implies x = a\\\\\implies a = x\\`
