The function p(d)=1+d/33, gives the pressure in atmospheres (atm), at the depth d in the sea (d is in feet). Note that p(0)=1 atm, p(33)=2 and so on. Find the pressure at 40 feet?
I am lost please help?
Thanks!
I'm so sorry if i get this wrong, but I got p = 1.237
thank you
sub in d= 40
p(44) = 1 + 40/33
= 1 + 1.2121...
= 2.2121..
your welcome :)
To find the pressure at 40 feet, we can use the given function p(d) = 1 + d/33.
First, substitute the value of d = 40 into the function: p(40) = 1 + 40/33.
Next, calculate the value: p(40) = 1 + 1.2121.
Simplifying: p(40) ≈ 2.2121 atm.
Therefore, the pressure at 40 feet is approximately 2.2121 atmospheres.
