A meteorologist is monitoring the atmospheric pressure as his height above sea level varies. The meteorologist determines that t

he atmospheric pressure decreases by 12% for each additional kilometer the city is above sea level. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 103 kPa (kilopascals). Define a function, p , that determines the atmospheric pressure (in kPA) in terms of the number of kilometers the city is above sea level, n .

Answer:

The function p(n) is represented by p(n) = 103\cdot (0.88)^{n}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement indicates that atmospheric pressure decreases exponentially when height above sea level is increased. This fact is represented by the following model:

p(n) = p_{o}\cdot r^{n} (Eq. 1)

Where:

p_{o} - Atmospheric pressure at sea level, measured in kilopascals.

r -Atmospheric pressure decrease rate, dimensionless.

n - Height above sea level, measured in kilometers.

p(n) - Current pressure, measured in kilopascals.

If we know that p_{o} = 103\,kPa and r = 0.88, the function p(n) is represented by:

p(n) = 103\cdot (0.88)^{n}

Enter the value, as a mixed number in simplest form, in the box. |2 1/3| = ?
Fittoniya [83]
Unclear of the question, but the value is already as a mixed fraction. The value of absolute value is just the distance from zero. So, |-4|=4 or |6|=6
|2 \frac{1}{3} |  =  2 \frac{1}{3}
