Solve for y x/w=z/(y^2)

$\frac{x}{w} = \frac{z}{y^{2}}$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{z}{y^{2}} = \frac{x}{w}$ .

$\frac{z}{y^{2}} = \frac{x}{w}$

Step 2

Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction. Set this equal to the product of the denominator of the first fraction and the numerator of the second fraction.

$z w = y^{2} x$

Step 3

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $y^{2} x = z w$ .

$y^{2} x = z w$

Divide each term in $y^{2} x = z w$ by $x$ and simplify.

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{z w} \sqrt{x}}{{\sqrt{x}}^{2}}$

Rewrite ${\sqrt{x}}^{2}$ as $x$ .

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{x}$ as $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{z w} \sqrt{x}}{{(x^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}}$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{z w} \sqrt{x}}{x^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}}$

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{z w} \sqrt{x}}{x^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{z w} \sqrt{x}}{x^{1}}$

Simplify.

$y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{z w} \sqrt{x}}{x}$

Combine using the product rule for radicals.

$y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{z w x}}{x}$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$y = \frac{\sqrt{z w x}}{x}$

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$y = - \frac{\sqrt{z w x}}{x}$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$y = \frac{\sqrt{z w x}}{x}$

$y = - \frac{\sqrt{z w x}}{x}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt{z w x}}{x}$

$y = - \frac{\sqrt{z w x}}{x}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt{z w x}}{x}$
