Answer:
p(x) = 0.1x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Pressure at sea level = 1 atmosphere
Depth dove by Sydney = 23 meters
Pressure at a depth of 23 meters = 3.3 atmospheres
So,
Pressure at a depth of 23 meters = Pressure at sea level + k * Depth dove by Sydney
where k is the diving rate constant
=> 3.3 = 1 + k(23)
=> 3.3 = 23k + 1
Subtracting 1 from both the sides, we get
3.3 - 1 = 23k + 1 -1
Cancelling out the +1 and -1 from the right side, we get
2.3 = 23k
=> 23k = 2.3
Dividing both sides by 23, we get
Cancelling out the 23's from the top and bottom of the left side, we have
k = 0.1
Plugging in the value of k in the equation, we get
Pressure at a particular depth = Pressure at sea level + k * Depth dove by Sydney
p(x) = 1 + k(x) [where p(x) is the pressure at a depth x]
=> p(x) = 1 + 0.1(x)
=> p(x) = 0.1x + 1
