A meteorologist measures the atmospheric pressure P (in kilograms per square meter) at altitude h (in kilometers).

Question:

A meteorologist measures the atmospheric pressure P (in kilograms per square meter) at altitude h (in kilometers). The data are shown below.

(a) Use the regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a least squares regression line for the points (h, In P).

(b) The result in part (a) is an equation of the form In P = ah + b. Write this logarithmic form in exponential form.

(c) Use a graphing utility to plot the original data and graph the exponential model in part (b).
