Question

Write an algebraic expression for a number squared divided by 2 and added to 16

Answer 1

`(x^2)/(2) + 16` is the algebraic expression for a number squared divided by 2 and added to 16

Solution:

Given that the statement is: A number squared divided by 2 and added to 16

We have to write the algebraic expression

Let us understand the given statement

Let the number be "x"

"Number squared " means x is squared
`\rightarrow x^2`

So, x squared divided by 2 and added to 16

Which is translated into algebraic expression as:

`(x^2)/(2) + 16`

Thus the algebraic expression is found
