What is the maximum number of snowmen they can make?

1 answer:

3 0

To answer this question, you do 5 2/3 divided by 1/2. First, change 5 2/3 to 17/3. Then, use the reciprocal method by doing 17/3 times 2/1, which gives you 34/3. That’s 11.3 repeating, so they can make 11 whole snowmen.

Answer:

After completing the square the expression is (x-2)^2 -12 =0 and real solution are x = 5.46 and x = -1.46

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to complete the square:

x^2 − 4x − 8 = 0

x^2 -2(x)(2)+(2)^2 -8 -4 =0

(x^2 -4x +4) - 12 = 0

(x-2)^2 -12 =0

Now, finding the value of x

(x-2)^2 -12 =0

(x-2)^2 = 12

taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{(x-2)^2}= \sqrt{12} \\(x-2) = \pm\sqrt{12} \\x = \pm\sqrt{12} +2\\x = \sqrt{12}+2 \,\,and\,\,x=-\sqrt{12}+2\\x= 3.46+2 \,\,and\,\,x=-3.46+2\\x =5.46\,\,and\,\,x=-1.46$
