Question

If p stays constant and u is doubled what happens to e? given U=EP

Answer 1

We are given the expression:

U = E * P

 

The equality symbol “ = “ means that for all cases, the value of U and E * P must always be equal. This means that whatever happens on the left side, must equally happen on the right side.

 

So what this actually means is that, if we double U so we must also double the expression E * P, that is:

2 U = 2 (E * P)

 

However since P stays constant in the process, therefore only E is changed, hence:

2 U = P * 2 E

 

So we can see that E is also doubled.
