You can immediately eliminate (A) by knowing that the work depends on the initial pressure and volume.
You can eliminate (B) by knowing that the sum of the pressures shouldn't affect the final work (though the difference might).
That leaves option (C).
Fortunately, the integral is not too difficult and in this problem you only need to get so far as the constant or as there is only one option with that constant. |  | a19grey2 2008-10-30 21:07:21 | If we plug in C's dependence on V later in the problem, why can we ignore this dependence when doing the integral?

C is a constant so you can pull it out of the integral. It is not ignoring anything.

Tada! Thanks, ETS, for putting the correct answer in the most laborious form possible!

Thankfully, once you get the factor, you're done.

Yeah. After I saw the factor I was confident of C.
