2. Let's explore the behavior of the function that relates altitude, h, in meters, and atmospheric pressure,P(h), in millibars. Below is a table and a graph for a set of altitude values and pressure values.h (meters) P(h) (millibars)Description1000sea level553946.71CN Tower, Toronto, Ontario, CanadaGuadalupe Peak, highest point in Texas2,667767.914,392647.33Mt.

Check yourformula using the data given in the table.(d) What is the atmospheric pressure at the top of Mount Everest (8848 meters)? What is the at-mospheric pressure at Death Valley National Park (86 meters below sea level)? Do your answersmake sense?

a) As per the graph, the data seems to be non-linear. There is a curve in the trendline which…
