Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The equation given is 1r2=x+yt+8\frac{1}{r^{2}}=\frac{x+y}{t}+8.
2. We need to solve for tt.
3. All variables except tt are considered to be known quantities.

STEP 2

Isolate the term containing tt on one side of the equation by subtracting 88 from both sides.
1r28=x+yt\frac{1}{r^{2}} - 8 = \frac{x+y}{t}

STEP 3

To solve for tt, we need to express the equation in terms of 1t\frac{1}{t}. To do this, we can take the reciprocal of both sides of the equation.
11r28=t1x+y\frac{1}{\frac{1}{r^{2}} - 8} = t \cdot \frac{1}{x+y}

STEP 4

To simplify the left side of the equation, we can find a common denominator for the expression inside the reciprocal.
11r28r2r2=t1x+y\frac{1}{\frac{1}{r^{2}} - \frac{8r^{2}}{r^{2}}} = t \cdot \frac{1}{x+y}

STEP 5

Combine the terms in the numerator on the left side of the equation.
118r2r2=t1x+y\frac{1}{\frac{1 - 8r^{2}}{r^{2}}} = t \cdot \frac{1}{x+y}

STEP 6

Now, take the reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator on the left side to simplify further.
r218r2=t1x+y\frac{r^{2}}{1 - 8r^{2}} = t \cdot \frac{1}{x+y}

STEP 7

Multiply both sides of the equation by 1x+y\frac{1}{x+y} to isolate tt.
r2(18r2)(x+y)=t\frac{r^{2}}{(1 - 8r^{2})(x+y)} = t

STEP 8

Finally, we have the expression for tt in terms of rr, xx, yy.
t=r2(18r2)(x+y)t = \frac{r^{2}}{(1 - 8r^{2})(x+y)}
This is the solution for tt in the given equation.
