Question
Identify the units on x in each of the following equations.
(a) x= yz (both y and z are measured in feet)
(b) x=3y^2 (y is measured in inches)
(c)x = t^3 (t is measured in seconds)
(d) x 4F^2 d (both F and d are measured in meters)
4. In an exponential expression such as A = BE -(t/RC) , we cannot attach units to the exponent-(t/RC) because a base, such as e, can only be raised to a pure number. Consequently, if the variable t in this equation is measured in seconds, what does this imply about the units on the product RC?

You may need to type the problems here.
It would also help if you posted your solutions. Then a math tutor can better help you if he knows your thinking.
