Question

If a and b are rational numbers such that a√2=b√17 then the positive values of a and b are?

Answer 1

Answer: there are no possible values

Step-by-step explanation:

a/b=(17/2)^1/2

(17/2)^1/2 is an irrational number but a/b is rational because rational number divided by rational number is rational. And an irrational number (here,(17/2)^1/2) is never equal to rational number (here ,a/b)
