Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x,y

x+y=8

y=8-x

x²+y²=34

x²+(8-x)²=34

x²+64+x²-16x=34

2x²-16x+64-34=0

2x²-16x+30=0

x²-8x+15=0

1×15=15

5+3=8

5×3=15

x²-(3+5)x+15=0

x²-3x-5x+15=0

x(x-3)-5(x-3)=0

(x-3)(x-5)=0

either x=3 or 5

if x=3,y=8-3=5

if x=5,y=8-5=3

in either cases numbers are 3,5

and smaller number is 3.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 squared is 9. 5 squared is 25. 25 + 9 = 34. 5 + 3 = 8. So the smaller number is 3.

lukranit [14]

Notice that the denominator is a multiplied by 2 for each fraction.

1/1•2 = 1/2

1 /2•2 = 1/4

1/4•2 = 1/8

1/8•2 = 1/16

1/16•2 =1/32

The next size is 1/32.
