AI Thread Summary
To solve the equation (0.97)(1 + Beta gas (-Ti)) = (1 + Beta steel (-Ti)), start by distributing 0.97 across the left side. This will help isolate the variable Ti. Next, add -0.97*(Beta gas)*Ti to both sides to simplify the equation further. It's important to distribute any terms that contain the variable to facilitate solving for Ti. Proper distribution and manipulation will allow for a clearer path to finding the solution.

Homework Statement



Hi- this is actually part of my physics homework, but all I need help with deals strictly with algebra.

This is my equation:

(0.97)(1 + Beta gas (-Ti)) = (1 + Beta steel (-Ti))



Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution




How do I solve for Ti? To me it seems like they cancel out, but from what I can remember, they don't and I can solve for it. I think it has to do with distributing before I start to solve, but I'm having issues. I am sorry I don't have more of an attempt, but I've tried to work it out on paper and they just cancel out.

Thanks so much.

First, distribute the 0.97 over the left-hand side. Then add -0.97*(Beta gas)*Ti to both sides. If the variable you're interested in is trapped inside a distribution, distribute it out so you can free the variable for independent algebraic manipulation.
 
Thanks slider :smile:
 

Thread 'Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors)'

I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks

Thread 'Making the denominator of a certain fraction real'

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...
