Homework Statement
basically I am suppose to linearize d=vit + 1/2at^2 into d/t^2 vs 1/t, t/d vs t^2/d and 1/d vs 1/t
and its asking which graphs would be linear and non-linear.
Homework Equations
d=vit + 1/2at^2
The Attempt at a Solution
all i know is that in order to linearize this i need to make it into the format y=mx+b from there i can see which variables alternate and which remain constant.
now I am confused on how I am suppose to get d/t^2 vs 1/t for the first one so i started to solve for t but i ended up needing to use the quadratic equation since its ax^2 + bx + c=0 but that really didnt help me since i coudlnt isolate "d" again. So basically I am kinda lost on how to manipulate this formula.
