Answer 1

The solution to the equation is p = 1/3 and q = undefined

How to solve the equation?

The equation is given as:

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = (p - 1/3)

The best way to solve the above equation is by the use of a graphing calculator i.e. graphically

However, it can be solved algebraically too (to some extent)

Recall that the equation is given as:

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = (p - 1/3)

Split the equation

So, we have

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = 0

p - 1/3 = 0

Solve for p in p - 1/3 = 0

p = 1/3

Substitute p = 1/3  in p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = 0

So, we have

(1/3)^2 - 2q(1/3) + 1/q = 0

This gives

1/9 - 2/3q + 1/q = 0

This gives

2/3q + 1/q = -1/9

Multiply though by q

So, we have

2/3q^2 + 1 = -1/9q

Multiply through by 9

6q^2 + 9 = -q

So, we have

6q^2 + q + 9 = 0

Using the graphing calculator, we have

q = undefined

Hence. the solution to the equation is p = 1/3 and q = undefined
