Question 456311: Can someone help me with this problem? it is confusing.
The function, p(d) = 1 + d/33 gives the pressure in atmospheres (atm), at a depth d in the sea (d is in feet). Note that p(0) = 1 atm, p(33)=3, and so on. Find the pressure at 110 feet.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The function, p(d) = 1 + d/33 gives the pressure in atmospheres (atm), at a depth d in the sea (d is in feet).
Note that p(0) = 1 atm, p(33)=3, and so on.
Find the pressure at 110 feet.
:
Wouldn't be p(33)= 2?
:
p(110) = 1 + 110%2F33
p(110) = 1 + 10%2F3
p(110) = 1 + 31%2F3
p(110) = 41%2F3 atmospheres at 110 ft
