Compact florescent light bulbs save energy when compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Our green energy campaign includes efforts to get local residents to change their incandescent bulbs to florescent bulbs. Initially 184 households make the change. Market studies suggest that, in the absence of limiting factors, we could increase that number by 28% each month. In our target area, there are 246,744 households, which we take as the limiting value. Make a logistic model that gives the number of households converting to florescent bulbs after t months. (Use t as your variable. Round r to three decimal places.)

On average, each person in the industrialized world is responsible for the emission of 10,000 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year. This includes CO2 that you generate directly, by burning fossil fuels to operate your car or your furnace, as well as CO2 generated on your behalf by electric generating stations and manufacturing plants.CO2 is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.What is the volume, in m3, of 10,000 kg of CO2 at 20∘C and 1.0 atm pressure? To put this in perspective, the volume of a typical hot-air balloon is 3000 m3.
