33. Cost of Trans-Atlantic Travel A Boeing 747 crosses the Atlantic Ocean (3000 miles) with an airspeed of 500 miles per hour. The cost C (in dollars) per passenger is given by 36,000 C(x) = 100 + 10 where x is the ground speed (airspeed + wind). (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function C = C(x). (b) Create a TABLE with TbIStart = 0 and ATbl = 50. (c) To the nearest 50 miles per hour, what ground speed minimizes the cost per passenger?
