Answer:
[tex]a=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] and b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}+\sqrt7=a+b\sqrt7[/tex]
We need to find the value of a and b.
We should compare both sides of the above equation i.e.
[tex]a=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
and
b = 1
Hence, the values of a and b are 1/5 and 1 respectively.
