How Are Radical Expressions Applied in Professional Fields?

AI Thread Summary
Radical expressions, such as square roots and cube roots, are commonly used in various professional fields, particularly in engineering. An example provided is the equation for RMS voltage, which is critical in electrical engineering applications. The discussion highlights the challenge of finding specific applications of radical expressions in less conventional fields like modern combat or paintballing. Despite the difficulty in sourcing information, the relevance of radical expressions in real-life engineering contexts is emphasized. Understanding how these expressions apply in practical scenarios can enhance the research project.

I have a project in which I need to write a paper on how radical expressions are used in careers. I can think of plenty of careers that use radical expressions, the problem is, no matter how much I research I can't find anything on <i>how</i> they are used. I have tried to find mathematics of modern combat and/or paintballing, but I have found nothing on radical expressions in these.

What's a radical expression? Like square roots and cube roots and such? So you are looking for equations that involve radicals that are used a lot in every-day life?

Like, VRMS = 2 * SQRT(2) * Vpp ?

(the RMS voltage is 2 * SQRT(2) * the peak-to-peak voltage)

That gets used a lot in engineering applications. Engineering is real-life, isn't it?
