a;b∈N  (a+b)^2 ∙(a-b)=128  ab=?
$$\mathrm{a};\mathrm{b}\in\mathbb{N} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \centerdot\left(\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b}\right)=\mathrm{128} \\ $$$$\mathrm{ab}=? \\ $$

a;b∈N  ⇒(a+b)>(a−b)....(i)  we have (a+b)^2 ∙(a−b)=128                                                       =1^2 ∙128_(−) , 2^2 ∙32,_(−)  4^2 ∙8_(−) , 8^2 .2_(−)   Only (a+b)^2 ∙(a−b)=8^2 ∙2  satisfy (i)      ⇒a+b=8    and  a−b=2       ⇒ a=5, b=3  ∴ ab=5∙3=15  ★
$$\mathrm{a};\mathrm{b}\in\mathrm{N} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}\right)>\left(\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{b}\right)….\left(\mathrm{i}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{have}\:\left(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \centerdot\left(\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{b}\right)=\mathrm{128} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\underset{−} {\mathrm{1}^{\mathrm{2}} \centerdot\mathrm{128}},\:\underset{−} {\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} \centerdot\mathrm{32},}\:\underset{−} {\mathrm{4}^{\mathrm{2}} \centerdot\mathrm{8}},\:\underset{−} {\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{2}} .\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Only}\:\left(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \centerdot\left(\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{b}\right)=\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{2}} \centerdot\mathrm{2}\:\:\mathrm{satisfy}\:\left(\mathrm{i}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{8}\:\:\:\:\mathrm{and}\:\:\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{a}=\mathrm{5},\:\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\therefore\:\mathrm{ab}=\mathrm{5}\centerdot\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{15}\:\:\bigstar \\ $$
