a certain gas will escape from a storage tank according to the formula e=180√(p),
\n" ); document.write( " where e represents the amount escaping per minute in gallons, and p represents
\n" ); document.write( " the pressure in pounds per square inch.
\n" ); document.write( " What is the pressure on the gas when about 225 gallons per minute are escaping?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Replacing e with 225, we have
\n" ); document.write( "\"180sqrt%28p%29\" = 225
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 180
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28p%29\" = \"225%2F180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28p%29\" = 1.25
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides
\n" ); document.write( "p = \"1.25%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "p = 1.5625 psi
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this on a calc: enter \"180sqrt%281.5625%29\" results: 225
