Question

Use the equation

Answer 1

Answer:-  The pressure 'p' will be infinity at volume 'V'=0.

Explanation:-

The given equation :- $p=\frac{8.31}{V}$ where p is a rational function dependent on V.

A rational function is undefined for denominator = 0.

In the given function V is the denominator , if V=0 then the function will be undefined.

⇒ p will approach to zero at V=0.

For assistance see the attachment , the graph of the given function represented by vertical assymptote which approaches to 0 but never touches it..

Answer 2

Hello,
The function is undefined for V=0 as well as there being an asymptote at V=0 meaning the pressure approaches infinity
