Bottled Water Sales The rate of U.S. sales of bottled water for the period 2007–2014 could be approximated by
a. Estimate the average annual sales of bottled water over the period 2007–2014, to the nearest 100 million gallons per year. [HINT: See Quick Example 2.]
b. Compute the 2-year moving average of s. (You need not simplify the answer.) [HINT: See Quick Example 3.]
c. Without simplifying the answer in part (b), say what kind of function the moving average is.

- Cell Phones Using the CTIA Wireless Survey for1985–2009, the number of U.S. cell phone subscribers (in millions) can be modeled byy = 0.632x2 - 2.651x + 1.209where x is the number of years after 1985.a. Graphically find when the number of U.S.subscribers was 301,617,000.b. When does the model estimate that the number ofU.S. subscribers would reach 359,515,000?c. What does the answer to (b) tell about this model?arrow_forwardThe population of Angeles City in 1829 when it became a separate town from San Fernando is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people living in it.

- I have attached my answer to be compared with the 2 subparts. D and E d) Compare the predicted change in greenhouse gas emissions between 2020 and 2025 to the change between 2025 and 2030? During which five-year period is the predicted change greater and by how much or is it the same in the two-time periods? e) During what year does this function rule predict that the US emission of greenhouse gasses will decrease to 1000 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents?arrow_forward| 500 175 1234 P 2000 1030 7321 5,000 R 2% 10% 1.5% 8% T ½ yrs. 7 mos. 128 days 2 yrs.arrow_forwardBetween z= 0 and z= 3.18arrow_forward
