So I'm solving a circuit, and it asks to solve for a specific resistor. I work the circuit down to the
following equation.
Given the equation where Va and Rf are unkown variables:
5 - 4Va = ((Rf/5) + 1) - (Rf/5)Va
The worked solution says that you can set the following equal to each other:
5 = (Rf/5) + 1 (the coefficients of the non-variable parts)
4 = Rf/5 (the coefficients of Va)
And therefore you can solve for Rf:
Rf = 20
What math rule allows you to set the coefficients equal to each other like that? I see what
they did, but I'm not sure why you're allowed to do that. Is there a name for this method
of solving the equation?
Solution
method of Undetermined Coefficients
