Question: During the 1970s and 1980s, the build up of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) created a hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica. After the 1987 Montreal Protocol, an agreement to phase out CFC production, the ozone hole has shrunk. The ODGI (ozone depleting gas index) shows the level of CFCs present.8 Let O(t) be the ODGI for Antarctica in year t; then O(2000) = 95 and O(2000) = -1.25. Assuming that the ODGI decreases at a constant rate, estimate when the ozone hole will have recovered, which occurs when ODGI = 0.
