1. As a diver descends, the pressure in the water
a
increases by about 0.455 pound per square
inch
(psi) for each foot of descent. This can be
modeled by the equation P = 0.455d + 14.3,
where P is the pressure in pounds per square
inch and d is the depth in feet.
Use a graphing calculator to graph the model.
(a)
Sketch the graph showing d (horizontal axis
representing depth )and P (vertical axis
representing the pressure).
