Wind and Pollution The amount of particulate pollution p in the air depends on the wind speed s, among other things, with the relationship between p and s approximated by p = 25 − 0.01s2, where p is in ounces per cubic yard and s is in miles per hour.

a. Sketch the graph of this model with s on the horizontal axis and with nonnegative values of s and p.


b. Is the function increasing or decreasing on this domain?


c. What is the p-intercept of the graph?


d. What does the p-intercept mean in the context of this application?
