Make q the subject of the relation t = √(pq/r - r\(^2\)q)

  • A. q = \(\frac{rt^2}{(p - r^3)}\)
  • B. q = \(\frac{t^2}{(p - r^2)}\)
  • C. q = \(\frac{rt}{(p - r^3)}\)
  • D. q = \(\frac{(p - r^3)}{rt^2}\)

Correct Answer: A. q = \(\frac{rt^2}{(p - r^3)}\)

Explanation

t = √pq/r - r\(^2\)q

multiply both sides by the L.C.M, r

r\(^2\) = pq - qr\(^3\)

collect like terms on the RHS

q(p - r3) = rt\(^2\)

q = \(\frac{rt^2}{(p - r^3)}\)
