Algebra.Com's Answer #201638 by nyc_function(2741)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First write r^(-2) as 1/r^2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W = C/r^2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by r^2.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(W)(r^2) = C\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by W.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r^2 = C/W\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of both sides.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r = sqrt{C/W}\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
