Inverse Cube Proportion 97Fcd8
1. **Problem Statement:**
We are given that $q$ is inversely proportional to $p^3$, and when $p=4$, $q=4$. We want to find the relationship between $q$ and $p$, and use it to find missing values in the table.
2. **Formula and Explanation:**
If $q$ is inversely proportional to $p^3$, then:
$$q = \frac{k}{p^3}$$
where $k$ is a constant.
3. **Find the constant $k$:**
Given $p=4$ and $q=4$, substitute these values:
$$4 = \frac{k}{4^3} = \frac{k}{64}$$
Multiply both sides by 64:
$$k = 4 \times 64 = 256$$
4. **Write the formula with $k$:**
$$q = \frac{256}{p^3}$$
5. **Use the formula to find missing values:**
- When $p=5$:
$$q = \frac{256}{5^3} = \frac{256}{125} = 2.048$$
- When $q=10$, find $p$:
$$10 = \frac{256}{p^3} \implies p^3 = \frac{256}{10} = 25.6$$
Take cube root:
$$p = \sqrt[3]{25.6} \approx 2.96$$
6. **Summary:**
- The formula relating $q$ and $p$ is $q = \frac{256}{p^3}$.
- For $p=5$, $q \approx 2.048$.
- For $q=10$, $p \approx 2.96$.
This matches the table structure where some values are missing and can be calculated using this formula.
