Finding the Best Model.  In Exercises 5–16, construct a scatterplot and identify the mathematical model that best fits the given data. Assume that the model is to be used only for the scope of the given data, and consider only linear, quadratic, logarithmic, exponential, and power models.

Carbon Dioxide Listed below are mean amounts of carbon dioxide concentrations (parts per million) in our atmosphere for each decade, beginning with the 1880s. Find the best model and then predict the value for 2090–2099. Comment on the result.
