43. COST MANAGEMENT Recall Excercise 55 Section 1.5. Alicia, the manager of a plant, determines that when x% of her plant's capacity is being used, the total cost of operation is C hundred thousand dollars, where 8x2 C(x) = 636x 320 - x - 68x - 960 | a. Find C(0) and C(100). b. Explain why Alicia cannot use the result of part (a) along with the intermediate value property to conclude that the cost of operation is exactly $700,000 when a certain percentage of plant capacity is being used.
