Step-by-Step Verified Solution

We have, (22)2022+(2022)22(22)^{2022}+(2022)^{22}

As 2022 is completely divisible by 3

So, (2022)22(2022)^{22} is also divisible by 3

(22)2022=(21+1)2022=(3×7+1)2022=7m+1(22)^{2022}=(21+1)^{2022}=(3 \times 7+1)^{2022}=7 m+1

⇒(22)2022\Rightarrow(22)^{2022} leave a remainder 1 , when divisible by 3 .

∴(22)2022+(2022)22\therefore(22)^{2022}+(2022)^{22} leave a remainder when divisible by 3

∴α=1\therefore \alpha=1

(22)2022+(2022)22=(21+1)2022+(2023−1)22=7K+1+7μ+1=7(K+μ)+2

⇒(22)2022+(2022)22\Rightarrow(22)^{2022}+(2022)^{22} leave a remainder 2 when divisible by 7

∴β=2 Hence, α2+β2=12+22=5
