Question

The temperature T, in degrees Celcius at which water boils at pressure p, in pounds per square inch, can be modelled by this function
T(p)=87.97 + 34.96 ln p + 7.91 p^1/2

Is the temperature at which water boils always increasing as the pressure increases?

Answer 1

ok that's what I thought. I guess theres no way of showing it algebraicaly?

Answer 2

Also water boils at 100 C so the pressure is in-between 1 and 2 P

Answer 3

oh ur so smart!1 Thanks!
