Homework Statement



solve for r: h^2+(pie)r=K

Homework Equations



not sure

The Attempt at a Solution



r=K-h^2/pie
 
Physics news on Phys.org
This is correct if you mean r=(k-h^2)/(pi)

[tex] r=\frac{k-h^2}{\pi}[/tex]

[edit] no e in pi... ;)

This is incorrect: you have written [tex]r = K - \frac{h^2}{\pi},[/tex] at least when read according to *standard rules*. If you mean that
[tex]r = \frac{K - h^2}{\pi} ,[/tex] then you need to use brackets: r = (K - h^2)/pi.
