Question

If the L.C.M of (x - a) and (x - b) is x^2 - 2x + 1 , then the values of a and b respectively are
a) 1, 2
b) 2, 1
c) 1, 1,
d) -1, -2​
please help me please

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-a) (x-b)

x(x-b)-a(x-b)

x^2-bx-ax+ab

value of a and b each is 1 because it will satisfy

lcm is the highest degree of variable

and for x we can make highest degreee ie. one which is the only one possible

ab will also be 1
