Between 1852 and 2005, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere rose from roughly 290 parts per million to 377 parts per million. Assume that this growth can be modeled with an exponential function: Upper Q equals Upper Q 0 times left parenthesis 1 plus r right parenthesis Superscript tQ=Q0×(1+r)t. a. By experimenting with various values of the growth rate r, find an exponential function that fits the data for 1852 and 2005. r ≈ (Round to five decimal places as needed.) b. Use this exponential model to predict when the CO2 concentration will double its1852 level. According to this model, the CO2 concentration will double its 1852 level in... (Type a whole number.)
My answer was incorrect from Chegg and my calculations are still off.
