If two graphs Y = px
2 + q and y = 2x
2 − 1 intersect at x =2, find the value of p in terms of q
-
A.
q − \(\frac{8}{7}\)
-
B.
7 − \(\frac{q}{4}\)
-
C.
8 − \(\frac{q}{2}\)
-
D.
7 + \(\frac{q}{8}\)
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Y = Px
2 + q
Y = 2x
2 - 1
Px
2 + q = 2x
2 - 1
Px
2 = 2x
2 - 1 - q
p = \(\frac{2x^2 - 1 - q}{x^2}\)
at x = 2
P = \(\frac{2(2)^2 - 1 - q}{2^2}\)
= \(\frac{2(4) - 1 -q}{4}\)
= \(\frac{8 - 1 - q}{4}\)
P = \(\frac{7 - q}{4}\)
