The percent of paper and paperboard that is recycled from municipal solid waste has grown exponentially. The table lists the percentages for selected years. Use a graphing calculator to fit the data to an exponential function. Use the function to find R in 2005. In what year will the percentage exceed 65? CID Type the values from your calculator for a and b for the exponential function y = ab*. a= b= (Round to six decimal places as needed.)
