A quantity P is partly constant and partly varies as the square root of a quantity Q. Given that P = 20 when Q = 4 and that P = 60 when Q = 100, find Q when P = 22.
Formulate the equation for P in terms of Q.
Let P be partly constant and partly vary as with constant .
Use the given values to form a system of equations.
When , :
When , :
Solve the system of equations for and .
Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2:
Substitute into Equation 1:
Write the complete equation for P.
Find Q when P = 22.
Square both sides:
When P = 22, Q is:
Part b(i)
Determine the equation connecting T, U and V.
Three quantities, T, U and V are such that T varies directly as the square of and inversely as the cube root of V. When T = 12, U = 4 and V = 8.
Formulate the variation equation.
T varies directly as and inversely as .
where is the constant of proportionality.
Use the given values to find .
Given , , .
Write the equation connecting T, U, and V.
The equation connecting T, U, and V is:
Part b(ii)
Find U when and .
Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions.
Calculate .
Substitute the values of T and into the equation from part (b)(i).
Solve for .
Solve for U.
Take the square root of both sides:
Case 1:
Case 2:
The possible values for U are:
