p inversely as (m + 1). when p = 4, m = 8. (a) Find a equation connecting P and (m + 1). (b) calculate the value of p when m = 11

a. p = 36 / (m + 1)

b. p = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If p varies inversely as (m + 1)

then p = k * 1 / (m + 1). {Where k is the constant}

when p = 4, m = 8, that means 4 = k / (8 + 1)

4 * 9 = k and k = 36

a. Therefore the equation is p = 36 / (m + 1)

b. When m = 11,

p = 36 / (11 + 1)

p = 36/12

p = 3
