It was estimated that in 2013, the Greenland Ice Sheet and itsoutlying ice caps were losing mass at a rate of about -393 Gt/y(gigatonnes per year).1 Suppose that in 2023, plans are put intoplace to gradually improve the rate of polar ice melt over the next10 years, so that by 2033, the rate of ice melt in Greenland willbe -93 Gt/y. Assuming that there are no further interventions after2033, graph a function that represents the rate of ice melt from2013 to 2043. Based on this graph, graph a function that couldrepresent the total amount of ice in Greenland from 2013 to2043.
