The cost C (in millions of dollars)of removing p% of the industrial and municipal pollutants discharged into a river is given by $C = \frac { 235 p } { 100 - p } , 0 \leq p

Question

The cost C (in millions of dollars)of removing p% of the industrial and municipal pollutants discharged into a river is given by​ $C = \frac { 235 p } { 100 - p } , 0 \leq p < 100$ .
​
According to this model,would it be possible to remove 100% of the pollutants? Explain.
​
A)No.The function is undefined at p = 100.
B)Yes

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The function $C = \frac { 235 p } { 100 - p }$ becomes undefined at $p = 100$ because the denominator becomes 0, making it impossible to remove 100% of the pollutants according to this model.
