SOLVING REAL WORLD RADICAL FORMULAS
As complicated as radical formulas appear, the concept actually just extends past our knowledge of exponents and orders of operations. In fact, solving formulas that contain radicals is the same as those without, given the rues of operations are followed. Finding the cubed and square roots of these numbers is part of those rules. In problem103 on page 605 ( Dugopolski, 2012) we find the capsize screening value c should be less than 2 if the boat is to be considered safe for ocean sailing. For this problem we will figure out if the Tartan 4100 is safe for sailing. The formula given is …show more content…
Another way to find out if the sailboat is safe for sailing is to take the radical formula we just got and solve for the variable d. c/4b3=d1/3(3) Multiply each side by 3/1 to cancel out the exponent. D = c – 3 Since this is a negative, use the reciprocal to cancel out the negative 64b –
