Chapter 2, Problem 54E
Obtain an outdoor thermometer and record the temperature every day for one month. Be sure to record the temperature at the same time every day. Make a graph of your temperature beginning with day 1 and ending at day 30. Are there any trends in the temperature? If there is a trend, calculate the average daily change.

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been
increasing over the past century as a result of the combustion of
fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas). Carbon dioxide is a green-
house gas that plays a significant role in climate. The increase in
carbon dioxide is correlated with changes in climate that have
climate scientists concerned. The graph shown here illustrates
the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from 1860 to the
present. Study the graph and answer the questions that follow.
