A monatomic ideal gas undergoes the thermodynamic process shown in the PV diagram of the figure below. Determine whether each of the values $\Delta U$, Q, and W for the gas is positive, negative, or zero. Hint: The internal energy of a monatomic ideal gas at pressure $P$ and occupying volume $V$ is given by $U = \frac{3}{2}PV$.
