Given that (p - 1/p) = 4, the value of p² + 1/p² is 18. Detail below
<h3>Data obtained from the questio</h3>
- (p - 1/p) = 4
- p² + 1/p² = ?
<h3>How to determine the value of p² + 1/p²</h3>
(p - 1/p) = 4
Square both sides
(p - 1/p)² = (4)²
(p - 1/p)² = 16 ....(1)
Recall
(a - b)² = a² + b² - 2ab
Thus,
(p - 1/p)² = p² + 1/p² - (2 × p × 1/p)
(p - 1/p)² = p² + 1/p² - 2
From equation (1) above,
(p - 1/p)² = 16
Therefore,
p² + 1/p² - 2 = 16
Rearrange
p² + 1/p² = 16 + 2
p² + 1/p² = 18
Thus, the value of p² + 1/p² is 18

#SPJ1
<span>A system of equations has infinitely many solutions when the two
lines representing the equations coincide. i.e. the two equations are
the same or a multiple of each other.
2y - 4x = 6
2y = 4x + 6
2y = 2(2x + 3)
y = 2x + 3
-y = -(2x + 3)
-y = -2x - 3
Hence the other equation is -y = -2x - 3</span>
The answer is 12>x>-7
Step-by-step explanation:
it's first divided into 2 parts
1 . 15 > 2x - 9
2. 2x - 9 > -23
Then solve them individually.
let's do it,
<u>First half</u>
15 > 2x - 9
15+9 > 2x
24 > 2x
24/2 > x
12>x
<u>Second half</u>
2x-9>-23
2x>-23+9
2x>-14
x>-14/2
x>-7
<u>Joining of the two halves</u>
We have :
12>x>-7
