Answer

To linearize the given equation, we need to transform it into the form Y=mX+CY = mX + C, where YY and XX are functions of the original variables (ff, DD, dd), and mm (slope) and CC (y-intercept) are constants.

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Start with the given equation.

    f=D2−d24Df = \frac{D^2 - d^2}{4D}
  2. Multiply both sides by $4D$ to clear the denominator.

    4fD=D2−d24fD = D^2 - d^2
  3. Divide all terms by D2D^2 to create ratios that can be grouped.

    4fDD2=D2D2−d2D2\frac{4fD}{D^2} = \frac{D^2}{D^2} - \frac{d^2}{D^2}
  4. Simplify the terms.

    4fD=1−(dD)2\frac{4f}{D} = 1 - \left(\frac{d}{D}\right)^2
  5. Identify the new
