Question:

Find the value of x, if $21^{\sqrt{x}}+20^{\sqrt{x}} = 29^{\sqrt{x}}$.

Options:

4

3

0

2

Correct Answer:

4

Explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem

a2 + b2 = c2

$21^{\sqrt{x}}+20^{\sqrt{x}} = 29^{\sqrt{x}}$

Compare the whole equation a2 + b2 = c2

So √x = 2

x = 4

212 + 202 = 292

441 + 400 = 841

841 = 841

So x =  4 satisfy this equation
