Nate scanned the garage, considering what to tackle next. his eyes fell on a wooden crate tucked way in the back with the name “benny” marked in orange paint. the crate was almost hidden behind other boxes. why was it difficult for nate to reach the wooden crate in the garage? a) it was too tall and wide. b) it was up on a high shelf. c) it was on a narrow walkway. d) it was hidden behind other boxes.

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x
