A positive number is divided into two parts such that the sum of the squares of the two parts is 208.The square of the larger part is 8 times the smaller part. Taking x as smaller part of the two parts,find the number.

✌hey mate here is your answer

let the smaller part be X

and larger part is y

so from first condition

x²+y²=208......(1)

and by second condition

y²=8x........(2)

put equation 2 in 1

x²+8x=208


x²+8x-208=0

by Hindu method

d=b²-4ac

=64+832

=896

X=(-b+_√d)/2a

=-8+-√896/2

so X=(-8+-8√14)/2

=8(-1+-√14)/2

=-4+-4√14

X=-4+4√14 or X=-4-4√14

siddhartharao77: Read the question carefully. In the question it is given that A positive number is divided into two numbers.The answer will be an whole number..I have mentioned the correct question also!
Anonymous: no vampire002's answer is correct... it is not compulsory that the answer should be a whole number
vampire002: sir also if there will be 308 in place of 208 then answer can also come
siddhartharao77: I have solved this kind of question already..It will be 18 in place of 8. times. One more thing is it was asked to find a number not two numbers. The numbers should be positive only!
Anonymous: but i m having the same answer in answer key as vamipe002's answer
vampire002: sry to say but i am in favour of Siddhartharao77
siddhartharao77: Dont trust your book answers. Read the question carefully u will find the logic. @1Sehaj1
Anonymous: now i feel i will get failed in tomorrow's exam
vampire002: best of luck
jadenthemighty: basically the question itself is wrong..... the square of the larger part is 18 times the smaller part not 8 times so then the value of x would be 8 and the larger part would 12 and the required number wouldve been 20. end of story.

Answer:

4[ (-1) +(√14) ] +2√2×√(-4+4√14)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller part be x

let the square of the larger part be 8x

acc. to question,

8x + x²=208

x²+8x-208=0

a=1, b=8, c= -208

using quadratic formula,

-b ±√b² - 4ac/ 2a

-8±√8²-4(1)(-208)/2(1)

-8±√896/2

-8±8√14/2

-4±4√14

x= -4+√14 (or) x = -4-√14 (rejected)

∴ x= -4+4√14     -- [1]

square of the larger part= 8x= 8( -4+4√14)

∴ larger part=2√2×√(-4+4√14)   --[2]

[1]  + [2] we get ,

the required number= 4[ (-1) +(√14) ] +2√2×√(-4+4√14)

This is a pretty complex answer!

hope it'll be useful!!
