For some reason i can't solve for x:
0.012M/(d-x)^2=M/x^2
I have M value: (5.98)(10)^24
d is: (3.84)(10)^5
0.012M/(d-x)^2=M/x^2
I have M value: (5.98)(10)^24
d is: (3.84)(10)^5
jackal said:see i think it's this,
0.012M/(d-x)^2=M/x^2
cross multiply,
x^2/(d-x)^2=M/0.012M
x/(d-x)={1/0.012}^1/2 (that is sq root)
The purpose of solving for x in this equation is to find the value of x that will make the equation true. This value of x is known as the solution or root of the equation.
The number 0.012 is the coefficient of the fraction in the numerator and represents a constant value in the equation. M and d are variables that represent unknown values in the equation.
The equation contains two different values of x because the fraction in the numerator and denominator are being squared. This allows for the possibility of two different solutions for x.
To solve for x, you can use algebraic techniques such as cross-multiplication, factoring, or the quadratic formula. You can also use a graphing calculator to find the intersection point of the two sides of the equation.
This equation can be used in various scientific fields, such as chemistry and physics, to calculate unknown values related to concentration, distance, and mass. It can also be used in engineering and economics to solve optimization problems.
