Question

If 8 is divided into two parts such that the larger part
exceeds the square of the smaller part by 2, then the
half of the smaller number is​

Answer 1

Answer:

your answer is 1

2 and 6 are the parts

Step-by-step explanation:

let the parts be x and y

x+y=8

x=8-y

x=y²+2

8-y=y²+2

y²+y-6=0

y²+3y-2y-6=0

y(y+3)-2(y+3)=0

y=2,y= -3

when y=2,x=6

when y= -3,x=11

part cannot be bigger so x=6,y=2
