X is partly constant and partly varies as q

1 answer

. This means that X can be expressed as a sum of two terms: one term that is constant and another term that varies directly with q.

Mathematically, we can write this as:
X = C + kq

Where:
- C is the constant term
- k is the coefficient of q, indicating how much X varies with q

For example, if X is partly constant and partly varies as q, X could be given by:
X = 5 + 3q

In this case, 5 is the constant term and 3q is the term that varies with q.
