(a) Use a graphingutility to plot the data. Let t represent the year, witht = 5 corresponding to 1995. (b) A model for the datais

4615.36t − 8726.7

1 + 15.01t− 0.542t2, 5 ≤ t ≤ 21

where t = 5 corresponds to 1995. Use the model toestimate the numbers of alternative-fueled vehicles in 1996, 2006,and 2011. How do your answers compare to the original data?

(f ) Use the model topredict the numbers of alternative-fueled vehicles in 2016 and2017
