When a gas is kept at a constant temperature and pressure on it changes, its volume changes according to the following formula,

known as Boyle’s law
where P1 and V1 are the pressure (in atm) and the volume (in litres) at the beginning, and P2 and V2 are the pressure and the volume at the end. Find the final pressure P2 if V1 = 1.5 litres, P1 = 4.5 atm and V2 = 3.5 litres. Round to the nearest tenth of a atm.

Answer:  Approximately 1.9 atm

============================================

Work Shown:

P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2 \ \text{ ... Boyle's Law}\\\\4.5*1.5 = P_2*3.5\\\\6.75 = P_2*3.5\\\\P_2*3.5 = 6.75\\\\P_2 = \frac{6.75}{3.5}\\\\P_2 \approx 1.92857142857142\\\\P_2 \approx 1.9\\\\

If the volume is 3.5 liters, then the pressure is approximately 1.9 atm.

Note the increase in volume leads to the reduction of pressure, and vice versa. The two variables have an inverse relationship.

-----------

As a check,

P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2\\\\4.5*1.5 \approx 1.9*3.5\\\\6.75 \approx 6.65\\\\

We don't get the exact thing on both sides, but the two sides are close enough. We have rounding error due to P2 being not exact.

A more accurate check could be

P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2\\\\4.5*1.5 \approx 1.92857*3.5\\\\6.75 \approx 6.749995\\\\

which has the two sides much closer to one another. This helps us verify the answer.

A gym membership charges $100 for a start up fee and $40 a month for
slamgirl [31]

The equation that represents the cost of membership is  $100 + $40c

The cost of 1 year membership is $580.

The number of months you have paid for is 9 months.

<h3>What is the equation that represents the cost of the gym membership?</h3>

The cost of gym membership is the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost. The fixed cost is the start-up fee while the variable cost is the cost per month.

The equation that represents the cost of the gym membership is: c = $100 + $40m

Where m represents the number of months

The cost of 1 year membership =  $100 + $40(12)

$100 + $480 = $580

How many months would $460 cover = ($460 - $100) / 40 = 9 months

Solve for y. -13=4y+3
mina [271]

Answer:

y = -4

Explanation:

The initial expression is:

-13 = 4y + 3

So, we need to substract 3 from both sides of the equation:

-13 - 3 = 4y + 3 - 3

-16 = 4y

Then, dividing both sides by 4, we get:

-16/4 = 4y/4

-4 = y

Therefore, the solution of the system is y = - 4.
