7. Imagine that the U.S. Congress decided to get serious about decreasing the amount of pollution emitted by cars. As part of their strategy, they plan to pass legislation that requirescar manufacturers each year to
cut the amount of carbon monoxide released per mile. SUVswill be required to have CO emission per mile reduced to two-thirds of the previous year's level.
a. Make a table showing the carbon monoxide emission level for the first five years after thislegislation is passed (starting at zero) for a vehicle that currently emits 7290 milligrams ofcarbon monoxide per mile.
b. Model this situation with a symbolic function. Clearly define your variables.
c. Use your calculator to create a table and use it to estimate the number of years it will takebefore emissions levels are below 5 milligrams of CO per mile.
