City-wide recycling:A large city has initiated a new recycling effort, and wants to distribute recycling bins for use in separating various recyclable materials. City planners anticipate the cost of the program can be modeled by the function C(p) = − 220, where C(p) represents the cost (in $10,000) to distribute the bins to p percent of the population. (a) Find the cost to distribute bins to 25%, 50%, and 75% of the population, then comment on the results; (b) graph the function using an appropriate scale; and (c) use mathematical notation to state what happens if the city attempts to give recycling bins to 100% of the population.
