Mathematical FormulaeRearranging Equations IIIThe formulae we have met so far have been fairly straight forward in that one variable is the subject of the formula and we have been asked to make the other variable the subject of the formula. Sometimes you may be faced with problems which have more variables, or the expression you are given is subject to operations as well. These can be dealt to in much the same way as before, treating the other variables as a constant term. ExampleMake i the subject of the mirror equation: Operations required for calculating the LHS from i: Reversing the above (Click on the question marks to view the inverse operations):
Example
The real gas equation must take into account the effect of attractions and repulsions between particles. Make T the subject of the formula. (p + an2/V2)(V - nb)= nRT
ExerciseMake p the subject of the real gas formula.
