Question Number 178137 by Acem last updated on 13/Oct/22
Let f(x)= (ax+1)^5 .(1+bx)^4 ; a,b ∈ N if times of x equal 62 so what are possible values of the sum a, b?
$${Let}\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\:\left({ax}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{5}} .\left(\mathrm{1}+{bx}\right)^{\mathrm{4}} \:;\:{a},{b}\:\in\:\mathbb{N} \\ $$$$\:{if}\:{times}\:{of}\:{x}\:{equal}\:\mathrm{62}\:{so}\:{what}\:{are}\:{possible}\:{values} \\ $$$$\:{of}\:{the}\:{sum}\:{a},\:{b}? \\ $$$$ \\ $$

Something lacks in the question, I think.

Hint: (1+ax)^5 = 1+5ax+10a^2 x^2 +... (1+bx)^4 = 1+4bx+6b^2 x^2 +...
$${Hint}:\:\left(\mathrm{1}+{ax}\right)^{\mathrm{5}} =\:\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{5}{ax}+\mathrm{10}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}^{\mathrm{2}} +… \\ $$$$\:\left(\mathrm{1}+{bx}\right)^{\mathrm{4}} =\:\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{4}{bx}+\mathrm{6}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}^{\mathrm{2}} +… \\ $$$$ \\ $$

(1+ax)^5 = 1+5ax+10a^2 x^2 +... (1+bx)^4 = 1+4bx+6b^2 x^2 +... We take times x from multiplication (5a+4b)x i.e. 5a+4b= 62 ...(1) We need to (a+b) so and from (1) 4(a+b) = −a +62 Since a∈ N ⇒ 4(a+b) < 62 ⇔ a+b< 15.5 Since a+b∈ N⇒ a+b≤ 15 ... (2) We repeat for b from (1) 5(a+b)= b+62 , b∈ N ⇒ 5(a+b)> 62⇒ a+b> 12.4 Since a+b∈ N⇒ a+b≥ 13...(3) (2) & (3) We find that the possible values of a+b are: a+b= 13 , a+b= 14 , a+b= 15
