Question 1087646: Suppose the cost C, in dollars, of eliminating p percent of the pollution from the emissions of a factory is given by
C(p) =4800p/100-p
What type of function is this?
Given that p represents the percent of pollution removed, what is the domain of C(p)
Find C (0) and interpret its meaning. it costs nothing to remove pollution
Find the cost of removing 99% of the pollution

Suppose the cost C, in dollars, of eliminating p percent of the pollution from the emissions of a factory is given by
C(p) =4800p/100-p

What type of function is this?                                                 
    - It is a rational function.

Given that p represents the percent of pollution removed, what is the domain of C(p)   - The domain is [0,100)


Find C (0) and interpret its meaning. it costs nothing to remove pollution    
    - C(0) = substitute 0 (zero) to the function instead of p. Then calculate.

Find the cost of removing 99% of the pollution                                
    - C(99) = substitute 99 to the function instead of p. Then calculate.
