We have the expression:


((p+q)^2)/(p-2q)

We have to evaluate it for p = 4 and q = 8.

To do that, we replace the variables p and q with the given values and calculate:


\begin{gathered} f(p,q)=_{}((p+q)^2)/(p-2q) \\ f(4,8)=((4+8)^2)/(4-2\cdot8) \\ f(4,8)=(12^2)/(4-16) \\ f(4,8)=(144)/(-12) \\ f(4,8)=-12 \end{gathered}

Answer: The value of the expression when p = 4 and q = 8 is -12 [Second option]
