The discussion revolves around a semiconductor problem involving the equation w = (50.12 x) ^ 0.5, where participants are trying to determine the value of x within the interval 0.5 < x < 2.5. The original poster seeks a mathematical method to find x, which is described as the minimum practical value for the solution.
The discussion is ongoing, with various approaches being explored. Some participants have provided guidance on manipulating the equation, while the original poster is seeking further simplification and clarity on expressing the equation in terms of x. There is no explicit consensus on the best method yet.
The original poster notes that the value of w is unknown and that the solution must adhere to the physical constraints of the problem. There is also a mention of a different approach involving another equation that the original poster wishes to simplify.
You solve an equation by "backing out". Since the last thing done or the right was "0.5 power", which is the same as square root, so the opposite: square both sides. Then you are left with just 50.12x on the right. Since x is multiplied by 50.12, do the opposite: divide both sides by 50.12.Obelisk said:Homework Statement
The problem is a semiconductor question which I have resolved and gotten the equation:
w = (50.12 x) ^ 0.5
From the knowledge of this system, x is in an interval such that 0.5 < x < 2.5
What mathematical method of solution would help find the solution to this equation? The value of x is supposed to be the minimum practical value for the solution.
Thanks.
