You can put this solution on YOUR website!
equation is s = 1/3gt^2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "I don't know if you mean \"s+=+%281%2F3%29%2Agt%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "or if you mean \"s+=+1%2F%283gt%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "assuming \"s+=+%281%2F3%29%2Agt%5E2\" you would do the following:
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3s+=+gt%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of the equation by g to get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3s%2Fg+=+t%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "take the square root of both sides of the equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "+/- \"sqrt%283s%2Fgt%29+=+t\"
\n" ); document.write( "your answer should be:
\n" ); document.write( "\"t\" = +/- \"sqrt%283s%2Fgt%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "assuming \"s+=+1%2F%283gt%5E2%29\" you would do the following:
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of the equation by \"t%5E2\" to get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"st%5E2\" = \"1%2F%283g%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of the equation by \"s\" to get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%5E2+=+1%2F%283sg%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "take the square root of both sides of the equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"t\" = +/- \"sqrt%281%2F%283sg%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "
