Question

If p varies inversely with q, and p = 2 when q = 1, find the
equation that relates p and q.​

Answer 1

Answer:

p = $\frac{2}{q}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that p varies inversely with q then the equation relating them is

p = $\frac{k}{q}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition p = 2 when q = 1, thus

k = pq = 2 × 1 = 2

p = $\frac{2}{q}$ ← equation of variation
