Question 1055857: A technician cleans a salt cell using a mixture of water and acid. There are currently 10 liters of water in a bucket and he adds varying amounts of acid to the 10 liters of water. Let x represent all possible values of the number of liters of acid added to the 10 liters of water. Let A represent all possible values of the level of acidity of the mixture (measured as the percentage of the solution that is acid).
When x=1, the percentage is 9.09%
Define a function,p that gives the acidity of the mixture, as a percentage of the solution that is acid, in terms of the number of liters of acid, x, that has been added to the mixture
