The cost of cleaning up pollution in a stream is given by

where c is the cost in dollars to clean p percent of the stream. p must be greater than or equal to zero and p must be less than what number? why?

p must be less than 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

c ----> the cost in dollars to clean the stream

p ----> percent of the stream

we have

Remember that the cost cannot be a negative number

and

the denominator cannot be a zero

so

Solve for p

Multiply by -1

Adds 100 both sides

therefore

p must be less than 100

step-by-step explanation:

let pq = qr = rs = x, and xz = y and zu = z.

if the horizontal lines are parallel, then corresponding segments are in proportion:

substitute:

therefore 3 = y = z.

xu = y + z → xu = 3 + 3 = 6
