Find p: 22=2πp2

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

I was thinking I could multiply both 2's together... thus getting 4 then 4 times π

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isolate p2 first by dividing by 2(pi)

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

ok so I get \[\frac{ 22 }{ 2π }=p2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

then would I just divide the 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that a power? If so, wouldn't you square root it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's a little ahead

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

It is not an exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p is raised to the power of 2?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

No

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

22/2π \[\div \] 2

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

So I should get 11π = p? @Doman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what happened to the 2 after p

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Divided it

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

22/2 / 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it was a coefficient, 2 would be in front of the variable p. Doman and I were assuming that was an exponent.

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

oops... 22/2π / 2

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

\[\frac{ 22 }{ 2π} \div 2\]

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

@Doman now what do I do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

keep simplifying by dividing

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

So I get 11π right? @Doman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

22=(2)(2)(pi)(p) 22/(2*2)=(pi)(p) 11/2=(pi)p 11/(2pi)=p
