Question

Solve each equation for the specified variable. (Assume no denominators are 0.) See Example 8. s = (1/2)gt^2, for t

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone here we are asked to solve for B in the following equation where we have K is equal to 1/8 times A times B squared. So now to solve for B in this equation, we need to isolate B on one side of the equation. So we can begin by moving this coefficient of 1/8 to the left hand side of our equate. And we do this by dividing both sides by 1/8. So now dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying the reciprocal. So the left side of our equation becomes eight K and this is now equal to A times B squared. And so now we see to continue to isolate B, we, we need to move over the A variable. So once again, we divide and dividing both sides now by A and rewriting our equation, we have A K divided by A is equal to B squared. And so now we see that B is squared, so we need to undo this square term. And this is done by taking the square root of both besides. So we see that B is equal to the square root of A K divided by A. So with this, we have solved for B by isolating be on one side of the equation. So we are left with answer choice. A thanks for watching. I hope you found this video helpful and I'll see you again next time.
