Emissions The table shows the amounts A (in millions of metric tons) of carbon dioxide emissions from the consumption of fossil fuels in the United States from 1994 to 2003. (Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration) (a) Use a graphing utility to create a scatter plot of the data. Let t represent the year, with corresponding to 1994. (b) Use the regression feature of a graphing utility to find a linear model, a quadratic model, a cubic model, a power model, and an exponential model for the data. (c) Create a table of values for each model. Which model is the best fit for the data? Explain. (d) Use the best model to predict the emissions in 2015. Is your result reasonable? Explain.
