What is each mathematical step (in detail) that one would take to get from:
E2−p2c2=m2c4
to
E=γmc2,
where γ is the relativistic dilation factor.
This is for an object in motion.
NOTE: in the answer, I would like full explanation. E.g. when explaining how to derive x from x+22=4, rather than giving an answer of "x+22=4, x+2=8, x=6" give one where you describe each step, like "times 2 both sides, -2 both sides" but of course still with the numbers on display. (You'd be surprised at how people would assume not to describe in this detail).
Answer
Starting with your given equation, we add p2c2 to both sides to get E2=m2c4+p2c2
