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

(a) Use a graphing utility to plot the points (h, In P). Use the regression capabilities of the graphing utility to find a linear model for the revised data points.

(b) The line in part (a) has the form

In P = ah + b.

Write the equation in exponential form.

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

(d) Find the rate of change of the pressure when h = 5 and h = 18.
