when q is equal to 2.

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]
