If two graphs Y = px2 + q and y = 2x2 − 1 intersect at x =2, find the value of p in terms of q

  • q − \(\frac{8}{7}\)
  • 7 − \(\frac{q}{4}\) checkmark
  • 8 − \(\frac{q}{2}\)
  • 7 + \(\frac{q}{8}\)

The correct answer is: B

Explanation

Y = Px2 + q

Y = 2x2 - 1

Px2 + q = 2x2 - 1

Px2 = 2x2 - 1 - q

p = \(\frac{2x^2 - 1 - q}{x^2}\)

at x = 2

P = \(\frac{2(2)^2 - 1 - q}{2^2}\)

= \(\frac{2(4) - 1 -q}{4}\)

= \(\frac{8 - 1 - q}{4}\)

P = \(\frac{7 - q}{4}\)

There is an explanation video available .
