Given:

j = k^2/4

Solve for k.

Solution:

In order to solve for k, we simply need to multiply 4 on both sides of the equation first to cancel out 4 in the denominator.

j = k^2/4

(4)j = (4) k^2/4

k^2 = 4j

Take the square root of both sides of the equation in order to cancel out k^2, hence we can take the square root by enclosing both sides with a square root sign or raising both sides by ½.

(k^2)^½ = (4j)^½

Final answer:

k = (4j)^½

Final answer:
k = (4j)^½
