Question

Suppose that the cost C (in dollars) of removing p percent of the particulate pollution from the smokestacks of an industrial plant is given by
C(p) =
8100p
100 − p
(a) Is C(p) undefined at any p-value? If so, what value? (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
p =
(b) What is the domain of C(p) as given by the equation? (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
(c) What is the domain of C(p) in the context of the application? (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
(d) What happens to the cost as the percent of pollution removed approaches 100%?
The cost increases (bounded by 8100) as p increases.
The cost decreases (bounded by 0) as p increases.
The cost decreases without bound as p increases.
The cost increases without bound as p increases.
The cost remains constant a

Answer 1

(a) C(p) is not defined since we can't divide by 0.

(b) The domain of C(p) as given by the equation is (-∞, 100) ∪ (100, ∞)

(c) The domain of C(p) in the context of the application is [0, 100)

(d) The percentage of particulate pollution removed from an industrial plant can't be negative or higher or equal than 100

Here we have given that Suppose that the cost C (in dollars) of removing p percent of the particulate pollution from the smokestacks of an industrial plant is given by

C(p) = 8100p / (100 − p)

And we need to find the following.

(a) In general ma the we know that dividing by zero is not possible one.

Therefore, C(p) is undefined when we try to divide it by 0.

(b) The domain of C(p) is the function is not defined at p =100 the domain would be written as,

=> D = (-∞, 100) ∪ (100, ∞)

(c) The domain of C(p) in the context of the application  is calculated as,

=> D = [0, 100)

Therefore, the percentage of particulate pollution removed from an industrial plant can't be negative or higher or equal than 100.
