Patrol Cars The Beaufort County Sheriff’s officeassigns a patrol car to each of its deputy sheriffs, whokeeps the car 24 hours a day. As the population of thecounty grew, the number of deputies and the numberof patrol cars also grew. The data in the followingtable could describe how many patrol cars werenecessary as the number of deputies increased. Writethe function that models the relationship between thenumber of deputies and the number of patrol cars.
Global temperature increases are benchmarked to the average temperature between 1951 and 1980. In 2010, the global average
temperature was 0.72°C above the benchmark. In 2020, it was 1.02°C above.1

(a) Assuming the difference between the global average temperature and the benchmark is a linear function of time, find a
formula for this function.
The increase in average global temperature, G, above the benchmark average in the year t is given by
G =
i
i
)t
eTextbook and Media
(b) Use this formula to predict the difference in 2027.
°C
The formula predicts that in the year 2027, the average global temperature will have increased by
over the benchmark.
