Question

p inversely as( m + 1 ). when p = 4, m = 8 . (a)Find a equation connecting P and ( m + 1 ). (b)calculate the value of p when m = 11​

Answer 1

a. p= 36/(m + 1)

b. p = 3

Explanation:

If p varies inversely as (m + 1)

then p = k × 1/(m + 1). {Where k is the constant}

when p = 4, m = 8, that means 4 = k/(8 + 1)

4 × 9 = k and k = 36

a. Therefore the equation is p= 36/(m + 1)

b. When m = 11,

p = 36/(11 + 1)

p = 36/12

p = 3
