(a)
\The percent of pollution removed is
.
where : Feet of length of a particular scrubber.
Graph :
\Graph the percent of pollution removed as a function of scrubber length.
\Note : Length of scrubber is always positive.
\ \(b)
\As the length of scrubber tends infinity the pollution function approaches to .
Observe the graph horizontal asymtote exist at , it means that the function approaches to
but not
.
Maximum pollution that can be removed by the scrubber is .
Maximum percent of pollution that can be removed by the scrubber is .
(c)
\Find maximum length of scrubber that a factory choose to use.
\Maximum pollution that can be removed by the scrubber is .
Substitute in
.
Apply logarithm on each side.
\Apply power property of logarithm .
Apply property of logarithm .
Maximum length of scrubber that a factory choose to use is feet.
Maximum length of scrubber that a factory choose to use is feet.
