Twice the square of half of a number is x. What is the number? I know twice the square is 2x^2 but I'm not sure about the half. Also the answer is sqrt2x

Respuesta :

so if the number is n then

2 times square of 1/2 of n=x
2 times square of n/2=x
2 times (n/2)²=x
2 times (n²)/4=x
(n²)/2=x
if solving for the number
times 2 both sides
n²=2n
sqrt both sides
[tex]n= \sqrt{2x} [/tex]
