Answer:

p = 17 and -15

Step-by-step explanation:

If q is directly proportional to (p-1)², this can be written as;

q = k(p-1)²

If q = 20 when p = 3

20 = k(3-1)²

20 = 2²k

20 = 4k

k = 5

To get p wen q = 80

80 = 5(p-1)²

16 = (p-1)²

p-1 = ±√16

p-1 = 16 and p-1 = -16

p = 17 and p=-16+1

p = 17 and -15

kozerog [31]
9/16+ 1/2
= 9/16+ (1*8) / (2*8) 
= 9/16+ 8/16 (common denominator is 16)
= (9+8)/16
= 17/16
= (16+1)/16
