Graph each equation. Are there restrictions on the variable d? How can you determine, from the equations and from the graphs, the greatest floatable weights? Each cubic foot of fresh water weighs 62.4 pounds. problem can be found here with illustrations http://www.cengage.com/resource_uploads/downloads/1111990905_341387.pdf </SPAN>\n" );
