(a) Given that P = (\(\frac{rk}{Q} - ms\))\(^{\frac{2}{3}}\)

(i) Make Q the subject of the relation;

(ii) find, correct to two decimal places, the value of Q when P = 3, m = 15, s = 0.2, k = 4 and r = 10.

(b) Given that \(\frac{x + 2y}{5}\) = x - 2y, find x : y

Explanation

P = (\(\frac{rk}{Q} - ms\))\(^{\frac{2}{3}}\)

P\(^{\frac{3}{2}}\) = \(\frac{rk}{Q}\) - ms

P\(^{\frac{3}{2}}\) + ms = \(\frac{rk}{Q}\)

Q = \(\frac{rk}{p^{\frac{3}{2}}ms}\)

 

(a)(ii) 

Q = \(\frac{10 \times 4}{3\frac{3}{2} + 15 (0.2)}\)

Q = \(\frac{40}{5.1958 + 3}\)

Q = \(\frac{40}{8.1958}\)

= 4.88 to 2 d.p

 

 

(b) \(\frac{x + 2y}{5} = x - 2y\)

x + 2y = 5(x - 2y)

x + 2y = 5x - 10y

x - 5x = -10y - 2y 

-4x = -12y

\(\frac{x}{y} = \frac{12}{4}\)

x : y = 3 : 1
