Question
Solve the equation
Solve for a
Solve for p
Solve for v
a=0a=pv1
Evaluate
p×1×v×1×a×1=p2v2a2
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
pva=p2v2a2
Add or subtract both sides
pva−p2v2a2=0
Factor the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
pva−p2v2a2
Rewrite the expression
pva−pvapva
Factor out pva from the expression
pva(1−pva)
pva(1−pva)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
pva=01−pva=0
Solve the equation for a
a=01−pva=0
Solution
More Steps

Evaluate
1−pva=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−pva=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−pva=−1
Divide both sides
−pv−pva=−pv−1
Divide the numbers
a=−pv−1
Divide the numbers
a=pv1
a=0a=pv1
