This is where the importance of using parentheses/brackets comes in.
I can show you the second one: ab + c = d ab = d - c ........................ subtracted c from both sides b = [(d - c) / a] ................. divided both sides by a ------------- The one you're asking about at first is ambiguous. And what is it that you are trying to make the subject? cx(squared) = h could be interpreted as (cx)² = h or cx² = h ------------------ I happen to have the ² symbol. You can cut-and-paste that for future questions if you like. (I actually have a lot of math symbols stored on my Facebook page as a note which only I can see. My friends are not super-interested in math, so they don't need or want to see my math notes.) At any rate, on sites like Yahoo Answers, exponents are usually denoted using the ^ symbol (shift-6 on your keyboard). This makes it so you don't have to type out (squared) all the time. For example, x(squared) would be typed x^2 , or x to the third power would be typed x^3 , etc. Ads |
