Demand for natural gas. In 2006 (t = 0), the world con- sumption of natural gas was approximately 101.4 trillion cubic feet and was growing exponentially at about 2.6% per year. (Source: International Energy Outlook 2005, U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. Department of Energy.) If the demand continues to grow at this rate, how many cubic feet of natural gas will the world use from 2006 to 2020?
