Question 1137812: This one is a doozy... electrical circuit word problem!
I will appreciate the help on this problem for extra credit and I very much need the points:
The resonant frequency of a circuit may be found by the formula f=1 over 2π√LC
where f is in cycles per​ second, L is in​ henrys, and C is in farads. Find the resonant​ frequency, to the nearest​ thousand, of a circuit if L=7.464×10−5 (-5 in subscript) henrys and C=3.7×10−10 (-10 in subscript) farads.
The resonant frequency is f=______cycles per second.
​(Round to the nearest thousand as​ needed.)

The exponents are also known as superscripts, not subscripts. Think "super" as in "superman flying high" to remember that superscripts are above. While subscripts (think "subway below the earth") are values that are located down and to the right, aka below the main value.

We can rewrite something like "10 superscript 2" into shorthand notation "10^2" without quotes of course. On your paper it would look like . For comparison purposes, this is what "10 subscript 2" would look like . You would see subscripts show up a lot in chemistry such as the formula (carbon dioxide).

Anyways onto the problem at hand.

Given Values:



Computing the resonant frequency f
Make sure your calculator is capable of scientific notation














Rounding to the nearest thousand (not thousandth)

Final Answer: 958000 cycles per second
