Question

Carbon Dioxide Emissions The table gives the millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions from
biomass energy combustion in the United States for
selected years from 2010 projected to 2032.
a. Find a linear function that gives the millions of
metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, y, as
function of x, the number of years after 2010.
b. Graph the model on the same axes with the data.
Is it a good fit for the data?
c. What does the (unrounded) model predict the millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions
will be in 2027?

d. When will the millions of metric tons of carbon
dioxide emissions reach 776.6, according to the
model?
