2 Explain 1 Rearranging Scientific Formulas Use inverse operations to isolate te unknown variable in a scientific formula. Te formula for density is D = _ V. Lead as a very ig density of 11,40 kg/ m. Plastic foam as a very low density of 7 kg/ m. Te formula for density can be rearranged to solve for V, volume or m, mass. Example 1 EXPLORE Rearranging Matematical Formulas A sinker on a fising line is made of lead and as a volume of m. Wat is te mass of te sinker? Te density formula can be rearranged to isolate m, te mass. Te values for volume and density can ten be substituted into te formula to find te mass. D = V DV = ( V ) V DV = m (11,40 kg/m ) ( m ) = m 0.17 kg m Te design for a life preserver requires 0. kilogram of plastic foam to provide proper buoyancy. Wat is te volume of te plastic foam required? Rearrange te density formula to isolate V. D = V (D) V = V V DV = _ DV = D m D _ D V = Now substitute te given values. 0. kg V = _ 7 kg/m V = m Your Turn. For altitudes up to 6,000 feet, te relationsip between ground temperature and atmosperic temperature can be described by te formula t = -0.00a + g, in wic t is te atmosperic temperature in degrees Fareneit, a is te altitude, in feet, at wic te atmosperic temperature is measured, and g is te ground temperature in degrees Fareneit. Determine te altitude in feet wen t is -7. F and g is 60 F. t = -0.00a + g t - g a = = =, Te altitude will be,000 feet. Module 68 Lesson PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Mat Background Some literal equations are general forms of equations tat students frequently encounter. For instance, te equation x = 1 as te general form ax = b. Te solution of suc an equation represents te solutions of all members of tat class of equations. For instance, x = b_ a gives te solution of all equations of te form ax = b. Restrictions may apply to te letters in a literal equation. One common restriction is tat te coefficient of a variable cannot be 0; oterwise, te variable term drops out of te equation. Hougton Mifflin Harcourt Publising Company Image Credits: Beck Potograpy/Aurora Potos/Corbis INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY Have students use a calculator to evaluate a common formula to find a value, suc as te volume of a tree-dimensional figure wit given dimensions, or te Celsius temperature equivalent to a given Fareneit temperature. How is te process of rearranging a literal equation similar to solving an equation in one variable? In bot cases, you use inverse operations to isolate a variable. EXPLAIN 1 Rearranging Scientific Formulas INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES Focus on Mat Connections MP.1 Ask students to list some scientific formulas tey ave used. AVOID COMMON ERRORS Encourage students to read te questions carefully. Some students may not pay attention to wic variable tey are solving for. How can you tell weter a rewritten formula is correct? Coose values for te variables tat make te original formula a true statement. Ten substitute tose values in te rewritten formula to see if it is a true statement. Solving for a Variable 68

3 EXPLAIN Rearranging Literal Equations Explain Rearranging Literal Equations Using inverse operations to rearrange literal equations can be applied to any formula. Te interest formula, I = prt, is anoter example of a literal equation. In te formula, I represents interest, p te principal or te initial amount to wic interest will be applied, r te rate at wic interest will be paid, and t is te time in years. Example CONNECT VOCABULARY Te term literal means expressed by letters. A literal equation contains two or more variables tat are represented by letters. Contrast tis meaning to te more common use of te word literal to mean according to te strict meaning of a word; not figurative. How does te solution of a literal equation differ from te solution of a specific equation of te same form? Unlike a specific equation, te literal equation s solution is not a number; it is an expression tat involves te letters representing te coefficients and constants in te literal equation. ELABORATE INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES Focus on Patterns MP.8 Point out tat a literal equation can be used to provide a rule for calculating te solution of any specific equation aving te same form. For example, wen te literal equation ax + b = c (were a 0) is c - b solved for x, te result is x = _ a. You can substitute values for a, b, and c into tis rule to solve any equation of te form ax + b = c witout going troug te steps of solving te specific equation. SUMMARIZE THE LESSON How do you solve a formula for a variable? You isolate te variable by using properties of equality. Make sure to do te same ting to bot sides of te equation to maintain balance. Hougton Mifflin Harcourt Publising Company Find te number of years used in te calculation of a $1000 loan at an interest rate of % wit interest totaling $600. Solve te formula for t. I = prt I_ pr = _ prt pr I_ pr = t Substitute te given values. Since te interest rate is %, r = 0.0. $600 $ = t 1 = t So te lengt of time for te loan is 1 years. Determine te interest rate for a $000 loan tat will be paid off in 4 years wit interest totaling $640. In order to find te interest rate, solve te formula for r. I = prt I_ prt = _ pt pt I _ = r pt Now substitute te values and simplify. $640 = r $000 4 ( ) ( ) So te interest rate is Your Turn 0.08 = r 8 % per year.. Te formula y = mx + b is te slope-intercept form of te equation of a line. Solve te equation for m. y = mx + b y - b = mx _ y - b x = m Module 69 Lesson COLLABORATIVE LEARNING Peer-to-Peer Activity Have students work in pairs. Have eac pair work wit te equation v = v 0 + at, or ave tem select a literal equation from a list tat you provide. Bot students sould solve te equation for eac of te variables it contains ( v 0, a, and t). Ten ave te students compare teir solutions to make sure tey are te same. If not, tey sould ceck eac oter s work to see were a mistake was made. 69 Lesson.
