C. For each mile that the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases 20%.
Answer:
Option D.
For each mile that the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure increases 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch (psi) is the force exerted by Earth's atmosphere over a given area. The atmospheric pressure, p, exerted on an airplane flying at an altitude of a miles above sea level can be approximated by the model shown below.
[tex]p=14.63-0.8^a[/tex]
Or [tex]0.8^a =14.63-p\\=0.8^a ln 0.8=\frac{-dp}{da}[/tex]
0.2231 (0.8^a) = dp/da
Since positive sign and approximately equals 20% we have
Option D.
For each mile that the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure increases 20%
