The cost of renovating p%of pollutants from a coal -fired power plant can be given by the following function c(p)=8000p/100-p with c being the cost in dollars, What is the cost of to remove 25% and the cost of removing 75%? What do you notice about the values? What could the cost be to remove 100%? Explain your answer.
It has been shown that the height of an adult can be accurately predicted by the length of their forearm. A function used to predict the height of a person h(x)= 39 + 2.7x, where x is the length of a persons forearm in inches. (a) interpret the meaning of 2.7 in the context of the problem. (b) interpret the meaning of 39 in the context of the problem. Does this make sense?
