A factory begins emitting particulate matter into the atmosphere at 8am, algebra homework help
A factory begins emitting particulate matter into the atmosphere at 8am each workday, with the emissions continuing until 6pm. The level of pollutants, P ( t ), measured by a monitoring station ½ mile away is approximated as follows, where t represents the number of hours since 8am.
P(t)= { 75t+100 if 0 is less than or equal to t less than or equal to 4
400 if 4 <t<8
-100t+1200 if 8 is less than or equal to t less than or equal to 10
-50/7 t + 1900/7 if 10 <t<24
Find the level of pollution at 2pm and 5pm.
