Assume the amount of paper being recycled quadruples every year.
(a)Make a table of the factor of increase in the amount of paper being recycled at each year for 0 to 3 years.For each year,write an expression for the factor of increase as a power of some base.
(b)What base did you use? How does that base relate to the problem?
(c)Use your table to graph the factor of increase as a function of years.
(d)Use your graph to estimate when the recycling will have grown by a factor of 50.
