Finding a certain variable out of a expression

[arhzz1]

Hello!

I have this expression;

[MATH]y(x) = \sqrt 3 * x - 2 * g * \frac {x^2}{v_o^2}[/MATH]

Now I need to pull out x out of this expression and I'm having a hard time doing so. Can anyone guide me towards the right way?

Thank you!

EDIT: For some reason that is frustrating the **** out of me I cannot get it to write the last statement which is x squared divided by v0 squared.

 

[skeeter]

[MATH]y = x \left(\sqrt{3} - 2g\dfrac{x}{v_0^2} \right) [/MATH]

 

[arhzz1]

[MATH]y = x \left(\sqrt{3} - 2g\dfrac{x}{v_0^2} \right) [/MATH]

Thank you good sir!

When you say:

"...pull out x out of this expression..."

do you want to factor 'x' out of the expression and rewrite like in response #2 or

do you want to rewrite as x = f(y) [that is 'x' will be absent in the right-hand-side of the expression]?

as x = f(y)

Because it is the only variable in the equation that I am missing and I need to be able to find it through this equation.

Then consider that the given equation is a "quadratic equation". Use quadratic formula to arrive at the intended equation.

I did got the values and solved the problem, thank you!

Now would you like a little help with grammar? "I did get the values"!
