If p varies inverse as the square of q and p = 8 when q =4, find q when p = 32
A
\(\pm\)16
B
\(\pm\)8
C
\(\pm\)4
D
\(\pm\)2
correct option: d
P \(\alpha\) \(\frac{1}{q^2}\)

p = \(\frac{k}{q^2}\)

k = pq2

k = 8 x 42

k = 8 x 16 = 128

find k = pq2

q2 = \(\frac{k}{p}\)

q = \(\frac{k}{p}\)

q = \(\frac{128}{32}\)

q = √4

q = \(\pm\)2
