Find the Requested Expression for the Function xx Percent of an Oil Spill As

Question 79

Multiple Choice

Find the requested expression for the function.
-A cost-benefit model expresses the cost of an undertaking in terms of the benefits received. One cost-benefit model gives the cost in thousands of dollars to clean up xx percent of an oil spill as c(x) =7.5x50xc(x) =\frac{7.5 x}{50-x} . Another model produces the relationship c(x) =7.2x52xc(x) =\frac{7.2 x}{52-x} . Find the cost function found by averaging the two models. Simplify the expression for this function by performing the indicated operations.


A) c(x) =750x14.7x22(50x) (52x) c(x) =\frac{750 x-14.7 x^{2}}{2(50-x) (52-x) }

B) c(x) =750x14.7x2(50x) (52x) c(x) =\frac{750 x-14.7 x^{2}}{(50-x) (52-x) }

C) c(x) =735.6x15.7x2(50x) (52x) c(x) =\frac{735.6 x-15.7 x^{2}}{(50-x) (52-x) }

D) c(x) =1500x29.4x2(50x) (52x) c(x) =\frac{1500 x-29.4 x^{2}}{(50-x) (52-x) }
