Chapter 4.1, Problem 56E

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Refer to Exercise 55. The carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere at Barrow. Alaska, in parts per million (ppm) can be modeled by the function

C(x) = 0.04x2 + 0.6x + 330 + 7.5 sin 2πx,.

where x - 0 corresponds lo 1970. (Source: Zeilik. M. and S. Gregory. Introductory Astronomy and Astrophysics. Brooks/Cole.)

(a) Graph C in the window [5. 50] by [320.450].

(b) What part of the function causes the amplitude of the oscillations in the graph of C to be larger than the amplitude of the oscillations in the graph of L in Exercise 55, which models Hawaii?

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide At Mauna Loa, Hawaii, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels in parts per million (ppm) were measured regularly, beginning in 1958. The function

L(x) = 0.022x2 + 0.55x + 316 + 3.5 sin 2πx

can be used to model these levels, where x is in years and x = 0 corresponds to 1960. (Source: Nilsson, A., Greenhouse Earth. John Wiley and Sons.)

(a) Graph L in the window [ 15.45] by [325. 385].

(b) When do the seasonal maximum and minimum carbon dioxide levels occur?

(c) L is the sum of a quadratic function and a sine function. What is the significance of each of these functions?
