Real World Radical Formulas MAT222: Intermediate Algebra Instructor Peter Surgent August 31, 2014 Real World Radical Formulas Radical formulas are used in many fields of the real world; some examples are in finance, medicine, engineering, and physics. These are just a few. In the finance department they use it to find the interest, depreciation and compound interests. In medicine it can be used to calculate the Body Surface of an adult (BSA), in engineering it can be used to measure voltage. These formulas are vital and important to the people working in these fields of work. Our week 3 assignment requires that we find the capsizing screening value for the Tartan 4100, solve the formula for variable of d, and find …show more content…

Part b of the assignment requires us to solve this formula for d. This formula will be used. Solve for d. The exponent of -1/3 means that the cube root of d will be taken and then the reciprocal of that number will be used as part of the solution. Rewrite the formula as Multiply both sides by to get Divide both sides by C to get Cube on both sides to get The radical equation of part b will be used to solve d in part c or Final answer Part c of the assignment requires finding what displacement is the Tartan 4100 safe for ocean sailing. This will be solved using the radical equation from part b This formula will be used to solve for our last part and solve d. I substitute the variables with the values 13.5 and 2. The 2 is for the capsize value. Use order of operations, and follow the quotient rule. = Follow the power rule, simplify my answer Final answer. The Tartan 4100 is safe for ocean sailing at a displacement of 19, 683 pounds. Here on the graph it shows the displacement of 19, 683 pounds is within the region to make for safe sailing. In this assignment the variable of C represents the capsizing
