Meteorology

The atmospheric pressure at a height of x meters
above sea level is P(x) = (10^4)e^(−0.00012x) kilograms per square
meter. What is the rate of change of the pressure with respect to
the height at x = 500 m? At x = 750 m?

1. I must first find P'(x). Yes?

2. I must then evaluate P'(x) at the two values of x given. Yes?
