Answer:
[tex]p\ =\ 92[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]p\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{q^2}[/tex]
[tex]p =23; q=4[/tex]
Required
Find p, when [tex]q = 2[/tex]
We have:
[tex]p\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{q^2}[/tex]
Express as equation
[tex]p\ =\ \frac{k}{q^2}[/tex]
Make k the subject
[tex]k =pq^2[/tex]
When: [tex]p =23; q=4[/tex]
[tex]k =23 * 4^2[/tex]
[tex]k =368[/tex]
When [tex]q = 2[/tex], we have:
[tex]p\ =\ \frac{k}{q^2}[/tex]
[tex]p\ =\ \frac{368}{2^2}[/tex]
[tex]p\ =\ \frac{368}{4}[/tex]
[tex]p\ =\ 92[/tex]
