A model that approximates the data is T = 87.97 + 34.96 ln p + 7.91√p.


(a) Use a graphing utility to plot the data and graph the model.(b) Find the rates of change of T with respect to p when p = 10 and p = 70.(c) Use a graphing utility to graph T'. Find lim p∞ T'(p) and interpret the result in the context of the problem.
