Question

Solve for a: b/a^2=16 ​

Answer 1

Given:

The given expression is
`(b)/(a^(2))=16`

We need to solve the expression for a.

Solving for a:

Let us find the solution for a.

Interchanging the sides, we have;

`16=(b)/(a^(2))`

Simplifying the terms, we get;

`a^2=(b)/(16)`

Taking square root on both sides, we have;

`a=\sqrt{(b)/(16)}`

Simplifying, we get;

`a=\pm (√(b))/(4)`

Thus, the solution of a is
`a=\pm (√(b))/(4)`

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
