Problem 2 Parts A, B, and C

Write a formula for f(x), the sum of the total area of the square and the circle. What
is the domain of this function when used to describe this problem? (The domain
should be related to the problem statement.) Sketch a graph of f(x) on its domain.
Suppose that the object (square or circle) with larger area is painted red, and the
object (square or circle) with smaller area is painted green. The cost of red paint to
cover 1 square foot is $4, and the cost of green paint to cover 1 square foot is $10. Let
g(x) be the function which gives the cost of painting the squares. Describe the function
g(x). Sketch a graph of g(x) on its domain. Hint: Read the question carefully. The
answer will be a piecewise-defined function. A complete answer should give all relevant
information
Where is the function g(x) continuous? Where is it differentiable? Which value of a
gives the least cost?
