Out of a group of swans, times the square root of the total number are playing on the shore of a tank. The two remaining ones are playing, with amorous fight

in the water. What is the total number of swans?

★ l l Answer l l ★

Let the number of swan be x .

Then, the number of swans playing on the shore of the tank = 7/2 √x

Remaining swans = 2

x = 7/2 √x + 2

➠ x - 2 = 7/2 √x

Squaring both sides

➠ ( x - 2 )² = ( 7/2 )² x

➠ x² - 4x + 4 = 49x/4

➠ 4 ( x² - 4x + 4 ) = 49x

➠ 4x² - 16x + 16 = 49x

➠ 4x² - 16x + 16 - 49x = 0

➠ 4x² - 65x + 16 = 0

➠ 4x² - 64x - x + 16 = 0

➠ 4x ( x - 16 ) - 1 ( x - 16 ) = 0

➠ ( x - 16 ) ( 4x - 1 ) = 0

➠ x = 16 and x = 1/4

We reject x = ¼ as the number of swan cannot be fraction ¼ and take x = 16b.

Hence, the total number of swans is 16 .

Answer:

Let the number of swans be x.

Then , the number of swans playing on the shore of the tank = 7/2√x

Remaining swans = 2

x = 7/2√x + 2

x - 2 = 7/2√x

Squaring both sides

(x - 2)² = (7/2)²x

x² - 4x + 4 = 49x/4

4(x² - 4x + 4) =49x

4x² - 16x + 16 = 49x

4x² - 16x + 16 - 49x = 0

4x² - 65x + 16 = 0

4x² - 64x - X + 16 = 0

4x(x - 16) - 1(x - 16) = 0

(x - 16)(4x - 1) = 0

x = 16. and x = 1/4.

We reject x = 1/4 as the number of swan can't be fraction 1/4 and take x = 16b

hence, the total number of swans is 16.
