question 15

Multiple Choice

$\text { Suppose the table below shows the temperature } T \left( { } ^ { \circ } \bar { F } \right) \text { at which a given liquid boils }$ at selected pressures $p$ (pounds per square inch) . A model that approximates the data is $T = 107.97 + 64.96 \ln p + 9.91 \sqrt { p }$ . Find the rate of change of $T$ with respect to $p$ when $P = 20$ . Round your answer to two decimal places.
$\begin{array}{|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|}\hline P & 5 & 10 & \begin{array}{c}14.696 \\(1 \mathrm{~atm}) \end{array} & 20 & 30 & 40 & 60 & 80 & 100 \\\hline T & 234.68 & 288.88 & 320.55 & 346.89 & 383.19 & 410.28 & 450.7 & 481.26 & 506.22 \\\hline\end{array}$

• A) \(113.43 \mathrm { deg } / \mathrm { lb } / \mathrm { in } ^ { 2 }\)

• C) \(5.46 \mathrm { deg } / \mathrm { lb } / \mathrm { in } ^ { 2 }\)
• D) \(112.33 \mathrm { deg } / \mathrm { lb } / \mathrm { in } ^ { 2 }\)
• E) \(1.11 \mathrm { deg } / \mathrm { lb } / \mathrm { in } ^ { 2 }\)
