Work Step by Step

$\mathrm{t}=0$, the year is 2005+0 $\mathrm{p}(0)=10.8$ The annual petrochemical production in Mexico in 2005 was 10.8 billion metric tons. $\mathrm{t}=$2, the year is 2005+2 $\mathrm{p}(2)=11.8$ The annual petrochemical production in Mexico in 2007 was 11.8 billion metric tons. $\mathrm{t}=4$, the year is 2005+$4$ $\mathrm{p}(4)=12.0$ The annual petrochemical production in Mexico in 2009 was $12.0$ billion metric tons.
