    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Equation

    natural gas consumption in trillions of cubic feet, Nc = 0.0012x^3 - 0.075x^2 + 1.6x + 13

    At x = 0 in 1960,

    Nc = 13 trillions ft^3

    Therefore,

    x = current year - reference year

    = 1990 - 1960

    = 30

    Nc = 0.0012x^3 - 0.075x^2 + 1.6x + 13

    Inputting x = 30,

    Nc = 0.0012 * (30) ^3 - 0.075 * (30) ^2 + 1.6 * (30) + 13

    = 25.9 trillion ft^3

    = 2.59 * 10^13 ft^3

    25.9 Trillions Cubic feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The polynomial that models consumption of natural gas is given as 0.0012x³-0.075x²+1.6x+13

    x=0 (In 1960)

    x=1 (In 1961)

    Therefore in 1990, x=1990-1960=30

    We substitute x=30 in the polynomial to determine gas consumption in 1990.

    0.0012x³-0.075x²+1.6x+13

    Consumption in 1990

    =0.0012 (30) ³-0.075 (30) ²+1.6 (30) + 13

    = (0.0012 X 27000) - (0.075 X 900) + 48 + 13

    =32.4-67.5+48+13

    =25.9

    Therefore, in 1990, 25.9 Trillions Cubic feet of gas was consumed.
