Chapter 2, Problem 15(choose chapter or problem)
In 2005 a record 51.5% of paper consumed in the United States (51.3 million tons) was recycled. The American Forest and Paper Association states that its goal is to have 55% recovery by 2012. a. Plot two data points that represent the percentage of paper recycled at t number of years since 2005. (You may want to crop the vertical axis to start at 50%.) Connect the two points with a line and calculate its slope. b. Assuming linear growth, the line represents a model, R(t), for the percentage of paper recycled at t years since 2005. Find the equation for R(t). c. Find R(0), R(5), and R(20). What does R(20) represent?
