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

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:it will it take him 6 minutes to cook the rest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chef needs to cook a total of 9 potatoes. He has already cooked 7 potatoes. That means that the number of uncooked potatoes left is total number of potatoes - number of cooked potatoes. It becomes

9-7 = 2 potatoes

If each potato takes 3 minutes to cook, this means that 2 potatoes will take 3 minutes × 2 j = 6 minutes

Since there are only 2 potatoes left uncooked, it will it take him 6 minutes to cook the rest.

6800 - 1

x - 0.07

x = 6800*0.07

x = 476
