Question

If z=x+y ;where x varies p Square and y varies 1/p, find the equation connecting z and p . If z=5 when p=2 ,and z=6 when p=4 find z when p=6

Answer 1

The equation connecting z and p is:

z = x + (1/p)

To find z when p = 6, we can use the values of x and y when p = 2 and p = 4 to calculate the corresponding value of z when p = 6.

When p = 2, x = 4 and y = 1, so z = 5

When p = 4, x = 16 and y = 0.25, so z = 16.25

Therefore, when p = 6, x = 36 and y = 0.167, so z = 36.167
