Suppose an object moves along the y–axis so that its location is y = f(x) =x2+ x at time x (y is in
meters and x is in seconds). Find the average velocity (the average rate of change of y with respect
to x) for x changing from 2 to 9 seconds.

Suppose that the cost C of removing p% of the pollutants from a chemical dumping site is given by
C(p) =$35,000
100 – p .
Can a company afford to remove 100% of the pollutants? Explain.
No, the cost of removing p% of the pollutants increases without bound as p approaches 100.
Yes, the cost of removing p% of the pollutants is $350, which is certainly affordable.
No, the cost of removing p% of the pollutants is $350, which is a prohibitive amount of
money.
Yes, the cost of removing p% of the pollutants is $35,000, which is certainly affordable.
