In problem involving days, a 365-day year is assumed.

Internet growth. The number of Internet hosts grew very rapidly from 1994 to 2012 (Table 1).

(A) Let x represent the number of years since 1994. Find an exponential regression model (y = abx) for this data set and estimate the number of hosts in 2022 (to the nearest million).

---

(B) Discuss the implications of this model if the number of Internet hosts continues to grow at this rate.
