Transforming Formulas

Formulas are used in alot of mathematical applications. It is very often useful to transform a formula in order to express a particular variable in terms of the other variables.









For example, in the formula for piston displacement of an automobile engine:

P = 0.7854d^2sn

 to solve for s in terms of P, n, and d this formula can be rewritten

P/0.7854d^2n = s.
