Question

The atmospheric pressure, p, in pascals, on a weather balloon decreases with increasing
height. This pressure, measured in millimeters of mercury, is related to the number of
kilometers, h, above sea level by the function p(h) = 760 (2.7)-0.145h. Use this function to
perform the following, showing your work and rounding answers to the nearest hundredth.
1. Find the atmospheric pressure, in pascals, at a height of 3 kilometers.
2. Find the height, in kilometers, when the atmospheric pressure is 200 pascals.
