    find the value of h
    how do I find the value of h in this equation:

    v= (63.96 + 0.52h^2) h :confused::confused::confused:

    thank youuuuuuuu! :)

    If you multiply it out and subtract "v" from both sides, you have a cubic equation.

    0.52 H^3 + 69.96h -v = 0

    There is a general formula to find its roots (similar to the quadratic equation's solution, but more complicated). Here's a link on Wikipedia that might be useful.

    Here is a calculator for solving cubics (and quadratics and quartics):

    Of course, you need to know the value of "v" to "solve" it with this solver.
