Fencing for the side parallel to the river is $5 per linear foot, and fencing for the other two sides is $8 per linear foot; the four corner posts are $25 apiece. Let x be the length of one of the sides perpendicular to the river.
(a) Write a function C(x) that describes the cost of the project.
(b) What is the domain of C?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area = ft2
Let the length parallel to the river = ft
I can say: ft

The perimeter of the rectangular are is:
------------------------------- can be any number
Also can be any number
-----------------------------------
The domain is:
0 < C(x) < infinity
