Question 82885This question is from textbook Algebra 2
: An object weighing w(subscript 0) kilograms on Earth and is h kilometers above the sruface of the Earth. Then the function for the object's weight at that altitude is +w%28h%29=+w%28subscript+0%29%2A%286400%2F%286400%2Bh%29%29%5E2+. I cannot figure out how to use a table to find w for the h-values of 10, 20, and 100. Please assist me. Thanks, Anna This question is from textbook Algebra 2

An object weighing w(subscript 0) kilograms on Earth and is h kilometers above the sruface of the Earth. Then the function for the object's weight at that altitude is +w%28h%29=+w%28subscript+0%29%2A%286400%2F%286400%2Bh%29%29%5E2+.
--------------
W(h) = Wo*(6400/(6400+h)^2)
-------
I cannot figure out how to use a table to find w for the h-values of 10, 20, and 100.
If h=10, w(10) = wo(6400/(6400+10))^2
= wo(0.9968823...)kgs
================
Follow the same patterm for h=20, then h=100
==============
