enter your response here millibars.

Answer 1

To find the pressure at 0 meters, we can substitute x = 0 into the equation for P(x).

P(0) = 1007e^(-0.0001272*0)

Since any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1, the equation simplifies to:

P(0) = 1007 * e^0

Since e^0 is equal to 1, the equation further simplifies to:

P(0) = 1007 * 1

Therefore, the pressure at 0 meters is 1007 millibars.
