Read this excerpt from "Fences." I peek through the cactus fence and watch the women rub oil sweeter than honey into their arms and legs while their children jump waves or sip drinks from long straws, coconut white, mango yellow. For which reasons does the poet most likely choose a fence made of cactus? Check all that apply. Cactus is sharp, which represents the pain the natives feel. The speaker raises cactus plants in her home. Cactus plants are found at tourist beaches. Cactus is the symbol of oppressed people all over the world. One can see through a cactus fence, but it is hard to climb through.

answer; ///i believe that the correct answer is (a) poorly repaired

i think its a bad thing why? one word flood

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x
