At sea level, air pressure is 30 inches of mercury. At an altitude of h feet above the sea level, the air Pressure, P, in inches of mercury, is given by the function P=30e^(-0.0000323h) Determine the rate of change of the air pressure, in inches of mercury per feet, for a pilot of a small plane passing through an altitude of 1300 feet. Round your answer to five decimal places.

P = 30 e 0.0000323 h P ( t ) = 30 × e 0.0000323 h
P ( 1300 ) = 0.000969 e 0.0000323 ( 1300 ) = 0.000969 e 0.04199 = 0.000969 1.04288405 = 9.29154108 × 10 4 = 0.00093
