Stupid question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u got a band-aid?

Good job on getting our attention.

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

This is technically a chemistry problem, but it involves math so I thought why not post here too. I have this equation: \[R=\frac{0.589...(t'^_{r2}-t'^-{r1}}{\frac{1}{2}...(w^_{2}+w^{1})}\] I'm having troble figureing out what i need to know to sove this equation. what is the .589 about and the 1/2? I have both the t' but for the w's do I use w1/2? I don't get it.

HARD AS pellet//

geerky42 (geerky42):

Exactly what do you need to solve for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my favorite kind

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

R= resolution

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

\[R=\frac{ .589...(t'_{r2}-t'_{r1} )}{ \frac{1}{2}...(w_{2}+w_{1}) }\]

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

I don't understand why .589 is there or even the 1/2

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

if you are asking why those constants are .589 and 1/2 , then thats not a math question :)

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

I just don't get the ... part really just the form of the equation is weird to me.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

haha i was just gonna ask you what the "..." is referring to

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

I understand the equation I just don't understand why it was written this way =/ am I actually using those numbers or what

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

And the problem keep referring to \[w_{1/2}\] and there isn't anything like that here

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

sorry i have no idea, i have no context to understand what the variables represent

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

yeah thanks any how
