WAEC Mathematics 2000 Question 36

Question 36

Algebraic Expressions

Make t the subject of the formula k = m√((t − p)/r)

  1. A.(rk2 + p)/m2
  2. B.(rk2 + pm2)/m2
  3. C.(rk2 − p)/m2
  4. D.(rk2 − p2)/m2
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B ((rk2 + pm2)/m2)

Explanation

k2/m2 = (t − p)/r, so t = rk2/m2 + p = (rk2 + pm2)/m2.
