FTR I need ur help quickly... I have half an hour

I know some of u are smart soo here goes

I am trying to finish my java homework. I have a formula

a = h - 32*t^2 /2


I need to solve for t

I cant seem to ge tthis for the life of me, yet it seems like simple algebra.

I came up with this

t = {square root of the whole thing} (2A + 32)/h


This is not working right, at least I dont think.


PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!
I am that fish...


currently broke as a joke...

32*t^2/2 = h - a
16*t^2 = h - a
t^2 = (h-a)/16

finally

t = sqrt((h-a))/4

Just a small tip for next time:

Reading this I wasn't sure if the formula was a = (h - 32*t^2 )/2 or if you actually meant a = h - (32*t^2 /2) which would change the solving so I'd suggest being explicit with the OoO.

yeah they dowhen it's easy to read in normal written format. When a formula is written in a string however it becomes more difficult to determine which OoO takes precedent such as in this case, ie is it h - 32*t^2 all divided by 2, or is 32*t^2/2 subtracted from h?

Even when I am writing out formula with pen and paper I will often use () just to ensure there is no confusion....actually it might come from coding where I do the same thing as well.

No biggie, just thought I'd offer a suggestion for next time to ensure people get full marks on their homework

Yah, I tried to fight it early, Lukie. FTR needs to show a touch of originality.
