The cost, in millions of dollars, to remove x % of pollution in a lake modeled by What is the cost to remove 75% of the pollutant? c=6000/(200-2x) c=6000/(200-2(75)) c=6000/(200-150) c=6000/50 c=120 The cost is 120 million to remove 75% of the pollution. What is the cost to remove 90% of the pollutant? c=6000/(200-2x) c=6000/(200-2(90)) c=6000/(200-180) c=6000/20 c=300 The cost is 300 million to remove 90% of the pollution. What is the cost to remove 99% of the pollutant? c=6000/(200-2x) c=6000/(200-2(99)) c=6000/(200-198) c=6000/2 c=3000 The cost is 3 Billion dollars to remove 99% of the pollution For what value is this equation undefined? The denominator being set to zero….. 200-2x=0 200=2x…diveide both sides by 2….100=x The equation is undefined for x=100. Do the answers to sections a. through d. match your expectations? Explain why or why not. Yes, the answers met my expectations because the amount of removal costs increase with the amount of pollutant removed. Also, x=100 means it is impossible to figure the cost to remove 100% of the pollutant. c=6000/(200-2x) c=6000/(200-2(100)) c=6000/(200-200) c=6000/0 c=0 Busch Enteratinment Corporation. (N.D.).
