Solve the formula for the given variable. Assume all variables represent nonnegative numbers.
A=6s^2, for s
A. A/6
B. SQRT A/6
C. -SQRT A/6
D. Not given
I believe the anser is B, but not 100% sure
algebraically it would have been ±√(A/6),
but it said all variables are non-negative, so
√(A/6) , the A/6 must be all under the root sign.
To solve the formula A = 6s^2 for s, we need to isolate the variable s on one side of the equation. Here's how to do it:
1. Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to eliminate the coefficient of s^2:
A/6 = s^2
2. Take the square root of both sides of the equation to remove the exponent on s^2:
SQRT(A/6) = s
Therefore, the correct answer is B. SQRT(A/6), as you mentioned.
