The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 lb/in2. this pressure is reduced by half for each 3.6 miles above sea level. which graph correctly identifies the amount of atmospheric pressure based on height, in miles, above sea level?

The graph of atmospheric pressure based on height, in miles, above sea level is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general exponential function is

Where a is initial value of the function and b is growth rate.

It is given that the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 lb/in2. This pressure is reduced by half for each 3.6 miles above sea level.

It means the initial value of the function is 14.7 and the growth factor is .

The required function is

Here, x is distance in miles above the sea-level  and f(x) is atmospheric pressure in lb/in² at x miles above the sea-level.

The table of values is

 x              f(x)

 0             14.7

3.6            7.35

7.2           3.675

10.8         1.8375

Therefore, the graph of atmospheric pressure based on height, in miles, above sea level is attached below.
