Question 1
Suppose that the cost C of removing p% of the contaminants from the site of a small chemical spill is given by
◦ $20
◦ As p approaches 100, C(p) increases without bound.
◦ $2000
◦ $400
Question 2
Suppose that the cost C of removing p% of the pollutants from a chemical dumping site is given by
C(p) =
.
Can a company afford to remove 100% of the pollutants? Explain.
◦ No, the cost of removing p% of the pollutants is $200, which is a prohibitive amount of money.
◦ Yes, the cost of removing p% of the pollutants is $20,000, which is certainly affordable.
◦ Yes, the cost of removing p% of the pollutants is $200, which is certainly affordable.
◦ No, the cost of removing p% of the pollutants increases without bound as p approaches 100.
