Suppose annual per capita sales of bottled water in a certain country in the period 2007-2014 could be approximated by R(t) = 0.25t2 - t + 29 gallons (0 st s 7), where t is time in years since 2007. According to the model, were annual per capita sales of bottled water accelerating or decelerating in 2014? accelerating decelerating How fast? gal/yr2
