Algebra.Com's Answer #80524 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The average of two positive integers is 134. One of the numbers is the square root of the other. Find the integers. \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "(x+sart(x))/2 = 134 \n" ); document.write( "x + sqrt(x) = 268 \n" ); document.write( "x + sqrt(x)-268 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "Let w = sqrt(x) \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "x^2+w-268 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "w = [-1 +- sqrt(1-4*-268)]/2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w = [-1 +- sqrt(1073)]/2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w = [1 +- 32.756678...]/2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w = 16.87833935... or w = -15.87833935... \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "Comment: \n" ); document.write( "These answers are not even close to being integers. \n" ); document.write( "Check your text problem or your posting for errors. \n" ); document.write( "========================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
