In summary, the conversation is about a complicated equation with variables and functions, which has been converted to LaTeX for easier understanding. The speaker is looking for help in simplifying the equation and has suggested trying to convert it to exponentials. Another person has made a correction to the equation and the conversation ends with a thank you.

Is it possible to make x (or a function of x) the subject of this?!?


0 = -v.cos(2x) + sin(x).sqrt(v^2.[sin(x)]^2 + 2ah) - (v^2.sin(x).[cos(x)]^2)/(sqrt(v^2.[sin(x)]^2 + 2ah))


I know its disgusting, but I would really appreciate some help.

I've converted your equation to LaTeX to help others read this monster.

Is this what you mean?

[tex]0 = -v cos(2x) + sin(x) \sqrt{v^{2}[sin(x)]^{2} + 2ah} - \frac{v^{2} sin(x) \cdot [cos(x)]^{2}}{\sqrt{v^{2}[sin(x)]^{2} + 2ah}}[/tex]

maybe try converting to expontials and seeing if you can simplify it more

Perfact, I hope a few ideas come out of this new form. Thanks

Or rather:
[tex]0 = -v \cos(2x) + \sin(x) \sqrt{v^2\sin^2(x) + 2ah} - \frac{v^2 \sin(x) \cos^2(x)}{\sqrt{v^2\sin^2(x) + 2ah}}[/tex]

Thanks for correcting my error, krab. :)
