Use the equation p = 831 where p = pressure and

V = volume.
What happens to the pressure as the volume
approaches 0? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

The pressure approaches infinity.

The function is undefined for V = 0.

There is an asymptote at V = 0.

Answer:

The lower the volume, the higher the pressure.

Explanation:

Volume and pressure are inverse to each other -- so the more pressure, the less volume, and vice versa. Think of it like this: if you were squished into a tiny room, there would be a lot of pressure on you, and not a lot of volume to move in!

You can also think of it numerically. The higher the V in that equation (the higher the denominator) the lower the p in the equation.
