please help solve v=1//2 x d2 for d

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

\[\large \large V = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } * d^2 \] Does it look like that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

You want to do inverse order of oepration to find d. So what do you do first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I change the order of operation ?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Yes. Instead of doing the parenthesis, exponent, etc.; you would be doing addition, subtraction, etc. So what do you do first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2 + 1/1?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Oh. You are correct that we want to get rid of 1/2. But (1/2) + (1/1) Does not cancel out: |dw:1374166129023:dw| To cancel out (1/2), you would want to multiply the fraction by its reciprocal.
