Real World Radical Formulas
Radical formulas are used in the real world in the fields such as finance, medicine, engineering, and physics to name a few. In the finance department they use it to find the interest, depreciation and compound interest. In medicine it can be used to calculate the Body Surface of an adult (BSA), in engineering it can be used to measure voltage. These formulas are vital and important not only in algebra but also as we can see in our day-to-day lives. This assignment requires that we find the capsizing screening value for the Tartan 4100, solve the formula for variable of d, and find the displacement in which the Tartan 4100 is safe for ocean sailing. The problem is broken down into three parts. The utilization of formulas will be used.
The problem and work will be on the left hand side and a description will be to the right of the work describing the steps taken to solve this assignment. The following words will be bold throughout the assignment to indicate that there is a clear understanding of their definition and use: radical, root, and variable. The assignment requires solving problem 103 on page 605 of our reading material. With the given information we will solve three different parts using the information given and using radical formulas to show the solutions.
The first part of the first problem requires us to “Find the capsize screening value for the Tartan 4100, which has a displacement of 23,245 pound sand a beam of 13.5” (Dugopolski, 2012) and determine if it is safe for sailing. The values for variable of d= 23245 and b= 13.5 will be used.
Part a of the assignment requires us to find the capsize value for the Tartan 4100. This formula will be used.
Substitute the variables with the values 23245 and
13.5.
