Concentration of Atmospheric CO 2 The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that if current trends of burning fossil fuel and deforestation continue, then future amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide in parts per million (ppm) will increase, as shown in the table.

(a) Plot the data. Let x = 0 correspond to 1990.

(b) Find a function of the form P(x) = a(x - h)2 + k that models the data. Use (0, 353) as the vertex and (285, 2000) as another point to determine a.

(c) Use the regression feature of a graphing calculator to find the best-fitting quadratic function Q for the data.
