Can anyone help a dumb fag out. Haven't taken algebra in many many many years. I have been wanting to understand special relativity theory's equations. There is one step (pic related) that is hanging me up. It looks like the right side is rearranged using a distributive property but it doesn't make any sense. How does this work?

Well, consider that t^I could be written as 1 *t^I
Michael Roberts
not sure if you were thinking that the t prime part of the equation is (t^1)^2 but its not. t prime is the time for the stationary reference frame.

hurr

t'^2 is a factor of both terms on the right side, so the second line is just taking out the common factor, t'^2,
The same way if i had 2x+x^2 it would also be written x(2+x)
Sebastian Morris
yeah yeah. not that it changed what you were trying to say anywho.
thanks Sup Forumsros
Andrew Rodriguez
allright. over a day on stack exchange didn't help. Come to Sup Forums and its solved in 5 minutes. finished simplifying the whole equation on my own and completely understand now. if Sup Forums could get together and play nice we could probably rule the world.
