The Density D(h) (In Kg/m 3 ) of the Earth's D(h)=1.2ah+bh2ch3D ( h ) = 1.2 - a h + b h ^ { 2 } - c h ^ { 3 } \text {, }

Question 3

Multiple Choice

The density D(h) (in kg/m 3 ) of the earth's atmosphere at an altitude of h meters can be approximated by D(h) =1.2ah+bh2ch3D ( h ) = 1.2 - a h + b h ^ { 2 } - c h ^ { 3 } \text {, } where a=1.096×104,b=3.42×109,c=3.6×1014,a = 1.096 \times 10 ^ { - 4 } , b = 3.42 \times 10 ^ { - 9 } , c = 3.6 \times 10 ^ { - 14 } , and 0h30,0000 \leq h \leq 30,000 . Use a graphing utility to graph D and approximate the altitude h at which the density is 0.3.


A) 12,400 m
B) 12,600 m
C) 12,000 m
D) 12,800 m
