- The Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii records the carbon dioxide concentration y (in parts per million) in Earth’s atmosphere. The January readings for various years are shown in Figure . In the July 1990 issue of Scientific American, these data were used to predict the carbon dioxide level in Earth’s atmosphere in the year 2035, using the quadratic model y = 0.018t2 + 0.70t + 316.2 (Quadratic model for 1960–1990 data) where t = 0 represents 1960, as shown in Figure a. The data shown in figure b represent the years 1980 through 2014 and can be modeled by y = 0.014t2 + 0.66t + 320.3 (Quadratic model for 1980–2014) data where t = 0 represents 1960. What was the prediction given in the Scientific American article in 1990? Given the second model for 1980 through 2014, does this prediction for the year 2035 seem accurate?arrow_forwardWrite a function for the blue graph of a quadratic function in a form: f(x) = a (b (x + c))2 + d (1, 1).

The penny reached its maximum height above the ground 0.79 seconds after it was thrown. Define a quadratic function, h, that expresses the height of the penny above the ground (measured in meters) as a function of the number of seconds elapsed since the penny was thrown, t. What is the maximum height of the penny above the ground?arrow_forward
