no understand 1. The formula is the equation for the atmospheric pressure at constant temperature measured in pascal units, p, and where “h” is the altitude in meters. What is the atmospheric pressure at 500 meters?

Question

no understand 1.	The formula  is the equation for the atmospheric pressure at constant temperature measured in pascal units, p, and where “h” is the altitude in meters.  What is the atmospheric pressure at 500 meters?

the formula is p=101.3e^-0.001h

You're given the formula and the altitude, so all you have to do is just plug everything together and solve
$$P = 101.3 e^{-0.001h}$$
Where you are given
$$h = 500 \ \text{meters}$$
The exponential (the e) button should be near the button that says "log" on your calculator.
