Problem 38

Question

Solve each formula for the specified variable. Do you recognize the formula? If so, what does it describe? \(D=R T\) for \(R\)

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer
The formula for \(R\) would be \(R=\frac{D}{T}\).
1Step 1: Identify the term to isolate
In this exercise, the goal is to solve the equation for \(R\). This means \(R\) needs to be isolated on one side of the equation.
2Step 2: Isolate the term \(R\)
To isolate \(R\), divide both sides of the equation \(D=RT\) by \(T\). On the right side, \(T\) cancels out, leaving just \(R\) alone. On the left side, the equation becomes \(\frac{D}{T}\). So, the equation becomes \(R=\frac{D}{T}\).
