Formulae

Formulae refers to mathematical relationships between different symbols, letters and numbers



Subject of the formula example

Find U the subject of the formula

a = V - U t

Solution:

a 1 = V - U t

at = V - U

at - V = -U

at - V -1 = -U -1

-at + V = U

Answer: U = -at + V

How to find the value from a formula

Given the formula V = at + U, Find the Value of V if a = 100, t= 2 and U = 9



Solution:

V = at + U

V = 100 × 2 + 9

V = 200 + 9

V = 209

Answer: 209

How to find the subject of a formula

Find the density of an object given that the mass = 500kg and volume = 100 cm 3 ?

Formula is:

Mass = Density × Volume

Solution:


500 = Density × 100

500 100 = Density 100

Density = 5

Answer: Density = 5 Kg cm 3
