512500v2 −449000v+19307

Given problem: Consider the rational function 𝑝 = .


125v²(1000v−43)

This function is based on the van der Waals equation for predicting the pressure
p of a gas as a function of v at a fixed temperature. The function above models
the pressure p of a carbon dioxide in terms of volume v if the temperature is 500
Kelvins.
