Suppose that R1 = 7.41 + 0.6t and R2 = 7.41 + 0.38t model the revenue (in billions of dollars) for a large corporation. The model R1 gives projected annual revenues from 2008 through 2015, with t = 8 corresponding to 2008, and R2 gives projected revenues if there is a decrease in the rate of growth of corporate sales over the period. Approximate the total reduction in revenue if corporate sales are actually closer to the model R2. Round your answer to three decimal places. $10.780 billion $157.780 billion $1.540 billion $24.010 billion $17.710 billion
