Question

I need help. In MATH, (not science) i have an equation. The equation is E=mc^2 , solve for c. i am lost

Answer 1

Given the equation:

`E=mc^2`

To solve for c.

First step:

Divide both sides by m

`\begin{gathered} (E)/(m)=(mc^2)/(m) \\ \\ (E)/(m)=c^2 \end{gathered}`

Second step:

Take the square root of both sides

`\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{(E)/(m)}=\sqrt[]{c^2}^{} \\ \\ \sqrt[]{(E)/(m)}=c \\ \\ c\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(E)/(m)} \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

`c\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(E)/(m)}`
