I don't think you can …

wherever does an equation like that come from? :smile:

Thanks for the welcome. The equation comes from emperical equations from a tow tank in the 1960's to define the lift coefficient of a deadrise planing surface of a boat at speed. Thanks for the help. I have plotted the equation in excel then added a trendline to get a good fit and backed out equations, very cumbersome.

Question 1: What is the purpose of rearranging an equation?

Rearranging an equation allows us to isolate a specific variable or term in order to solve for its value. This can help us better understand the relationship between different variables and make calculations easier.

Question 2: How do you rearrange an equation?

To rearrange an equation, start by identifying the variable or term you want to isolate. Then, use inverse operations and algebraic rules to move all other terms to the other side of the equation. Finally, simplify and solve for the desired variable.

Question 3: Can you rearrange any type of equation?

Yes, as long as the equation follows the basic rules of algebra, it can be rearranged. However, some equations may be more complex and require more steps or advanced techniques to rearrange.

Question 4: Why is it important to check your rearranged equation?

It is important to check your rearranged equation to make sure it is equivalent to the original equation. This ensures that no mistakes were made during the rearranging process and that the solution is accurate.

Question 5: Are there any shortcuts or tips for rearranging equations?

Yes, some common tips for rearranging equations include starting by moving the constant terms to one side of the equation, using the distributive property, and combining like terms. It is also helpful to double-check your work and use logical reasoning to guide the rearranging process.
