Under water, pressure increases 4.3 pounds per square inch (psi) for every 10 feet you descend. This is represented by the equation p = 0.43d + 14.7, where p is the psi and d is the depth in ft. Find the pressure at 200 feet.

grr i gotta do my own homework not yours.... i will teach you if you would like...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Then teach me if you want :)

OpenStudy (eyust707):

i can only teach you if you want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want :)

OpenStudy (eyust707):

ok =)

OpenStudy (eyust707):

in this equation d represents feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really don't know... :/

OpenStudy (eyust707):

wait im soryy d equals depth every ten feet... so if d=20 what does p =?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

well lets plug it in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok =)

OpenStudy (eyust707):

p = .43(d) + 14.7 put in d d= 20 p = .43(20) +14.7

OpenStudy (eyust707):

what is 20 times .43 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.6

OpenStudy (eyust707):

great! so: p = 8.6 + 14.7

OpenStudy (eyust707):

what is 8.6 + 14.7 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23.3 :)

OpenStudy (eyust707):

you did it!

OpenStudy (eyust707):

ding ding ding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha. So Is that the answer then??

OpenStudy (eyust707):

dont forget your units tho... 23.3 psi

OpenStudy (eyust707):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But that's not even one of the choices on my homework... :/

OpenStudy (eyust707):

see its not that hard =P

OpenStudy (eyust707):

what are the choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

215.13 psi 860 psi 100.7 psi

OpenStudy (eyust707):

ohh lol we used the wrong d.. instead of 20 we should have used 200

OpenStudy (eyust707):

if we used 200 we would have gotten 100.7

OpenStudy (eyust707):

same idea tho i promise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol. Ok. Thank you for helping me with this(: I appreciate it. :)

OpenStudy (eyust707):

no problem =)
