Question

Given that aba\neq b ​ and a, b > 0 and an+2+bn+2an+bn=ab \frac{a^{n+2} + b^{n+2}}{a^n + b^n} = ab​ then n=n^=​​

A.

1

B.

12\frac{1}{2}​​

C.

12\frac{-1}{2}​​

D.

-1

Correct option is D

Given:Given that ab and a,b>0, andan+2+bn+2an+bn=abConcept used:We will solve this question by putting all the values from options in the given equation.Solution:If we put n=1 in the given equation, then we geta1+2+b1+2a1+b1=a+b1a+1b=a+ba+bab=(a+b)aba+b=abwhich is our right-hand side.Hence n=1.\begin{aligned}&\textbf{Given:} \quad \text{Given that } a \ne b \text{ and } a, b > 0, \text{ and} \quad \frac{a^{n+2} + b^{n+2}}{a^n + b^n} = ab \\[10pt]&\textbf{Concept used:} \quad \text{We will solve this question by putting all the values from options in the given equation.} \\[10pt]&\textbf{Solution:} \quad \text{If we put } n = -1 \text{ in the given equation, then we get} \\[5pt]&\frac{a^{-1+2} + b^{-1+2}}{a^{-1} + b^{-1}} = \frac{a + b}{\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b}} = \frac{a + b}{\frac{a + b}{ab}} = \frac{(a + b) ab}{a + b} = ab \\[10pt]&\text{which is our right-hand side.} \\[5pt]&\text{Hence } n = -1.\end{aligned}

Final Answer:  -1.
