Inverse variation 2008-05-22
From leria:
In Boyle's law, the pressure of gas varies inversely with the volume of the gas. A volume of 11.2 liters of air exerts a pressure of 2.0 atmospheres.

determine the constant of variation and write an equation the models the relationship between the pressure of the gas P and its volume, V. Use the equation to predict the volume of air necessary to exert a presure of 0.25 atmospheres.
