Question

Question: GLOBAL WARMING The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is a major cause of global warming. Using data obtained by Charles David Keeling, professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the average amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere from 1958 through 2007 is approximated by

A(t) = 0.010716t² + 0.8212t + 313.4      (1 ≤ t ≤ 50)

Where A(t) is measured in parts per million volume (ppmv) and t in years, with t 1 corresponding to 1958. Find the average rate of increase of the average amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere from 1958 through 2007.
