To frame a square piece of artwork such as a photo or print, a framing store bases it charge on the perimeter P, in inches, of t
he frame needed to surround both the artwork and a border around the artwork called a mat. A particular style of frame costs $1.50 per inch, while the glass costs $0.10 per square inch and the mat costs $0.15 per square inch. There is also a flat labor charge of $30. The total charge C for the framing is given by the function C(P) =1.5P+0.25(P4)2+30. In this function, what does the expression 0.25(P4)2represent?
