Answer:

Let the sides be a and b

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 = 29^2 = 841

a^2 + (a + 1)^2 = 841

a^2 + a^2 + 2 a + 1 = 841

2 a^2 + 2 a = 840

a (a + 1) = 420

21 * 20 = 420 trial and error

So the sides are 20 and 21

20^2 + 21^2 = 29^2

Which expression is equivalent

RUDIKE [14]

Given expression is

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^{11}y^8}{81x^7y^6}}$

Radical is fourth root

first we simplify the terms inside the radical

$\frac{x^{11}}{x^7}=x^4$

$\frac{y^(8)}{y^6}=y^2$

So the expression becomes

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^4y^2}{81}}$

Now we take fourth root

$\sqrt[4]{16} = 2$

$\sqrt[4]{81} = 3$

$\sqrt[4]{x^4} = x$

We cannot simplify fourth root (y^2)

After simplification , expression becomes

$\frac{2x\sqrt[4]{y^2}}{3}$

9. Simran had some ₹2 and ₹ 5 coins.She exchanged them for ₹ 10 coins. If the number of ₹ 5 coins is one less than the number of

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 2 coins and y be the number of 5 coins. Let z be the number of 10 coins she exchanged. Then, we have the first equation

$2x+5y = 10z$

Since she has one 5 coin less than 2 coins, then y=x-1. So we get the equation

$2x+5(x-1) = 10z$

which is equivalent to

$7x-5 = 10z$

If we add 5 on both sides and factor out on the right by 5 we get

$7x = 5(2z+1)$

We can solve for x and get

$x = \frac{5(2z+1)}{7}$

Since x represents the number of 2 coins, we must have that x is an integer. That is, we cannot have, for example 1.5 2 coins. Since 7 doesn't divide 5, we must have that 7 divides 2z+1. That is, the value of z is such that the number 2z+1 is multiple of 7. That is 2z+1 = 7p where p is an integer.

If that is the case, then

x = 5p, then y = 5p-1. By having 2z+1 = 7p, we are forcing that p is an odd integer, so we have infinite solutions. For each value of p that is an odd integer, then x=5p and y=5p-1 is a solution to the problem
