Question

A number is four times larger than the square of half the number

Answer 1

Let's make an equation where x is the number.

4x= (x/2)²

To find this, we need to use a graph or you could solve. I use a graph or a table if I can't solve a problem quickly. I plugged in each side of the equation into a graphing calculator to see when the lines intersect.

So, 16 is the answer.
