Convert Equation to Linear form of y=mx+c

AI Thread Summary
To convert the equations into a linear form, the user needs to set the two expressions for capacitance (C) equal to each other, eliminating C from the equation. The equations provided are C = (pi*ε)/(ln[d/a]) and C = A^1/2 / [(60*pi)/ε^1/2 * (W/S^2)]. The goal is to manipulate these equations to express S in the desired linear forms of S = ()d + () or S = ()lnd + (). The user has attempted various methods, including expansion series and substitutions, but has not succeeded. Assistance is requested to achieve the linear relationship.

Homework Statement



I need to substitute eq1 to eq2, and obtain a linear relationship of S = ()d + () or S = ()lnd + (). I have tried a lot of method but non of them a successful one. I hope anyone can help to obtain the equation in linear form.

Deined parameters:
C = capacitance, d = distance, ε = permittivity, A = variable , ln - natural log , a = radius, W = width, S = space

Homework Equations



Equation 1 and 2 need to provide S = ()d + () or S = ()lnd + ()

C = (pi*ε)/(ln [d/a]) ...eq 1

C = A^1/2 / ([(60*pi)/ε^1/2] * (W/S^2)) ...eq 2

The Attempt at a Solution



I have attempt to find solution using expansion series but not working and I use different method of substitution to bring this two formula to linear function but I failed.

I hope anyone can help me with this problem.

Thanks

My first thought is to set them equal to each other. I'm assuming you have tried this. What kind of road block did you hit when trying to simplify it?
 
Yes, set the two different formulas for C equal to each other (you will have no "C" in the equation) and then solve for S. Show us how you are trying to do that.
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
