The graph at left in the tc-plane models the global wind power capacity, c, in gigawatts, t years since 1996. What is the best interpretation of the c-intercept of this graph?

The image shows an exponential curve graphed in the first quadrant of the 't c'-plane. The horizontal 't'-axis is labeled Years since 1996 and the vertical 'c'-axis is labeled Global wind power capacity (gigawatts). The graph crosses the 'c'-axis at about 7 and increases exponentially, passing roughly through the point (13 comma 150).

Answer:

c(0) = 7 means global wind power capacity was 7 GW in 1996

Explanation:

The c-intercept is the global wind power capacity at t=0, which was in 1996. The scale is in gigawatts, so c=7 at t=0 means ...

global wind power capacity was 7 GW in 1996
