if x and y are two perfect squares then the HCF of x and y
Options:-
A. x^2
B. xy
C. 4x
D. x+y
E. x^5
Since x and y are perfect squares, we can write:
x=n² and y=m², for some integers m and n.
Let's evaluate the options now:
1. x² = (n²)².Thus, x² is a perfect square (the square of n²).
2. xy = (n²)(m²)= (nm)². Thus, xy is a perfect square (the square of xy)
3. 4x = 4(n²)= (2n)². Thus, 4x is a perfect square (the square of 2n)
4. x+y= (n²)+(m²). This is NOT necessarily a perfect square.
Hence, we have our answer. It is D( x + y )
Step-by-step explanation:
x² = (n²)².Thus, x² is a perfect square (the square of n²).
2. xy = (n²)(m²)= (nm)². Thus, xy is a perfect square (the square of xy)
3. 4x = 4(n²)= (2n)². Thus, 4x is a perfect square (the square of 2n)
4. x+y= (n²)+(m²). This is NOT necessarily a perfect square.
Hence, we have our answer. It is D( x +
