- The Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii records the carbon dioxide concentration y (in parts per million) in Earth’s atmosphere. The January readings for various years are shown in Figure . In the July 1990 issue of Scientific American, these data were used to predict the carbon dioxide level in Earth’s atmosphere in the year 2035, using the quadratic model y = 0.018t2 + 0.70t + 316.2 (Quadratic model for 1960–1990 data) where t = 0 represents 1960, as shown in Figure a. The data shown in figure b represent the years 1980 through 2014 and can be modeled by y = 0.014t2 + 0.66t + 320.3 (Quadratic model for 1980–2014) data where t = 0 represents 1960. What was the prediction given in the Scientific American article in 1990? Given the second model for 1980 through 2014, does this prediction for the year 2035 seem accurate?arrow_forwardWrite the equation of sandwich theorem?arrow_forwardData were collected from several hospitals about the charge for medical procedures and the popularity of the procedures. The results were used to calculate the model ŷ = -58.25x + 927, where x represents the cost of the procedure in thousands of dollars and ŷ represents the predicted number of procedures performed. Using the model, how much would a procedure cost that is predicted to be performed 400 times? $223,730 ○ $90,472 O $22,373 $9,047arrow_forward
