Question

Find the value of a and b if 1/5+√7= a+b√7​

Answer 1

`a=(1)/(5)` and b = 1

Explanation:

Given that,

`(1)/(5)+\sqrt7=a+b\sqrt7`

We need to find the value of a and b.

We should compare both sides of the above equation i.e.

`a=(1)/(5)`

and

b = 1

Hence, the values of a and b are 1/5 and 1 respectively.
