Hurricanes are some of the largest storms on Earth. They are very low pressure areas with diameters

Question:

Hurricanes are some of the largest storms on Earth. They are very low pressure areas with diameters of over 500 miles. The barometric air pressure in inches of mercury at a distance of x miles from the eye of a severe hurricane is modeled by the formula f(x) = 0.48 In (x + 1) + 27. 

(a) Find f(0) and f(100). Interpret the results.

(b) Graph fin [0, 250, 50] by [25, 30, 1]. Describe how air pressure changes as one moves away from the eye of the hurricane. 

(c) At what distance from the eye of the hurricane is the air pressure 28 inches of mercury?
