Step-by-step explanation:
In mathematics, the equation for inverse proportion is x = k/y, and to find the constant (k), k=xy.
Therefore, in given problem, we can use k= q^2(p+3) to find the value of the constant k, and use it to find the second unknown value.
k= q^2(p+3) when q = 5 and p = 2
k= (5^2)(2+3)
k = (25)(5)
k = 125
Use the value of k to calculate the other unknown value.
q^2= k/(p+3) when p = 17 k = 125
q^2= 125/(17+3)
q^2= 125/20
q^2= 25/4
q = sqrt(25/4)
q = plus/minus 5 / 4
