It was estimated that in 2013, the Greenland Ice Sheet and its outlying ice caps were losing mass at a rate of about -393 Gt/y (gigatonnes per year).1 Suppose that in 2023, plans are put into place to gradually improve the rate of polar ice melt over the next 10 years, so that by 2033, the rate of ice melt in Greenland will be -93 Gt/y. Assuming that there are no further interventions after 2033, graph a function that represents the rate of ice melt from 2013 to 2043. Based on this graph, graph a function that could represent the total amount of ice in Greenland from 2013 to 2043.

Sawyer Corporation's 2018 sales were $7 million. Its 2013 sales were $3.5 million. At what rate have sales been growing? Round your answer to two decimal places. % Suppose someone made this statement: "Sales doubled in 5 years. This represents a growth of 100% in 5 years; so dividing 100% by 5, we find the growth rate to be 20% per year." Is the statement correct?

A 0.313-m-thick sheet of ice covers a lake. The air temperature at the ice surface is -15.9 °C. In 4.70 minutes, the ice thickens by a small amount. Assume that no heat flows from the ground below into the water and that the added ice is very thin compared to 0.313 m. Calculate the number of millimeters by which the ice thickens.
