According to Boyle's Law, if the temperature of a confined gas is held fixed, then the product of the pressure P and the volume V is a constant, suppose that, for a certain gas, PV=800 where P is measured in pounds per square inch and V is measured in cubic inches. A) Find the average rate of change of P as V increases from 200in^3 to 250in^3.
B) Express V as a function of P and show that the instantaneous rate of change of V with respect to P is inversely proportional to the square of P.
