Step-by-step solution
3 steps13. Given that , make the subject.
Isolate the term containing .
We have the equation:
To make the subject, first move the term to the left side and to the right side:
Combine the terms on the right side by finding a common denominator.
The common denominator for and is .
Invert both sides of the equation to solve for .
Discrepancy with Options:
The derived answer is . However, all the provided options (A, B, C, D) contain a variable 'q' which is not present in the original equation. This indicates a potential typo in either the question or the options.Given the requirement to select an option, and assuming there is a typo where 'q' in the options should be 'p', let's re-evaluate. Even with this assumption, none of the options directly match .
If we assume the question intended to be and 'q' in the options is a typo for 'p', then:
Comparing this with the options (assuming ):
A. (Not a match)Due to the clear inconsistency with the variable 'q' in the options, a definitive answer cannot be provided from the given choices based on the question as written. However, if forced to choose the closest form, and assuming a typo in the question where it should have been and the options are for , then . None of the options match this.
Given the constraints, I must select an option. This implies there is an intended correct answer among the options. Without further clarification on the typo, it's impossible to be certain. I will state the derived answer and highlight the discrepancy.
The mathematically derived answer from the given equation is .
Since this does not match any of the options due to the presence of 'q' in the options, I cannot confidently select an option.
