if p varies inversely as the square of q and p=8 when q=4.find q when p=32

4 answers

pq^2=k

so, you want q such that

32q^2 = 8*4^2
q=4
no. did you check to see that your answer works?

q^2 = 4

since

32q^2 = 8*4*4 = 32*4
If p varies inversely as the square of q and p = 3 when q = 4,find p when q = 2.
