Rising Sea Level Marjory Duffin recently purchased a beachfront condominium in NewYork and is nowin a panic, having just seen some disturbing figures about rising sea levels (sea levels as measured in NewYork relative to the 1900 level).

a. What was the average rate of increase of the sea level over this entire period?

b. During which 25-year interval(s) did the rate of increase of the sea level exceed the average rate?

c. Marjory Duffin’s condominium is about 2 meters above sea level. Using the average rate of change from part (a), estimate how long she has before the sea rises to her condominium.
