If gas in a cylinder is maintained at a constant temperature T, the pressure P is related to the volume V by a formula of the form .

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

If gas in a cylinder is maintained at a constant temperature T, the pressure P is related to the volume V by a formula of the form

P = , in which a, b, n, and R are constants. Find .

Explanation:

We will use the quotient rule for each of the two terms on the right side as follows.

        P =

            =

            =

            =

Thus, we can conclude that the value of .
