During the 1980s, the average emission of carbon from burning fossil fuels on Earth was 5.439 petagrams (Pg) of carbon per year in the form of CO2. (a) How many kg of C were placed in the atmosphere each year? kg (b) How many kg of CO2 were placed in the atmosphere each year? kg (c) A metric ton is 1000 kg. How many metric tons of CO2 were placed in the atmosphere each year? metric tons / year If there were 5 billion people on Earth, how many tons of CO2 were produced for each person? tons per person

Solve each problem. See Examples 6 and $7 .$ Based on figures from 1970 through $2005,$ the worldwide carbon dioxide emissions in millions of metric tons are approximated by the exponential function defined by $$f(x)=4231(1.0174)^{x}$$ where $x=0$ corresponds to $1970, x=5$ corresponds to $1975,$ and so on. (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center.) Give answers to the nearest unit. (a) Use this model to approximate the emissions in $1980 .$ (b) Use this model to approximate the emissions in $1995 .$ (c) In $2000,$ the actual amount of emissions was 6735 million tons. How does this compare to the number that the model provides?
