We presume your cost function is
c(p) = 124p/((10 +p)(100 -p))
This can be rewritten as
c(p) = (124/11)*(10/(100 -p) -1/(10 +p))
The average value of this function over the interval [50, 55] is given by the integral

This evaluates to
(-124/55)*(ln(65/60)+10ln(45/50)) ≈ 2.19494
The average cost of removal of 50-55% of pollutants is about
$2.19 hundred thousand = $219,000
Cause if its only 19 hours worked is that the whole week? in that case itd be 19*5.75 = 109.25
Answer: d is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Error is between steps 4 and 5. It should say:
Step 4: -9x < 27
Now divide by -9
Step 5: x > -3
Note that the inequality changes direction.
When you mean multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the inequality changes direction.
For example:
4 < 5
Multiply by -1:
-4 > -5
Another example:
-5 < 0
5 > 0
Lou has 800 pennies
Joe has 8 pennies
Therefore they have 808 pennies
