Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas.
:
V = , where k is the variation constant
:
a pressure of 46 pounds per square inch has a volume of 360 cubic feet.
360 =
k = 360 * 46
k = 16560 is the variation constant
:
A) What is the particular equation?
V =
:
B) construct a table of at least 4 points that represent the problem
replace p in the equation with the given value, find V
p | V
-------
20 | 828
40 | 414
60 | 276
80 | ___
90 | ___, you should be able to complete the table here, if I explained this properly
