Q:

Air pressure may be represented as a function of height above the surface of the Earth as shown below. P(h)=PoE^-.00012h In this function, P0 is air pressure at sea level, and h is measured in meters. Which of the following equations will find the height at which air pressure is 65% of the air pressure at sea level? A. Po=.65PoE^-.00012h B. .65Po=PoE^-.00012h C. .65=h*e^-.00012 D. h=.65e^-.00012

Accepted Solution

A:
The answer is B because you p(h) = 0.65Po and it shows .65Po=PoE^-0.00012h
