When people think, read, and write critically, they a. question, test, and build on what others say and what they themselves think. b. put down and make fun of what other people say and think. c. rely on other people to tell them what to think. d. accept what other people say without thinking about it.

Thinking, reading, and writing critically typically means the person will question, test, and build on what others say and what they themselves think. The answer is therefore A.

I suspect answer A

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
