General: Drug Interception Suppose that the cost of a border patrol that intercepts x percent of the illegal drugs crossing a state border is million dollars (for x < 100).

a. Graph this function on [0, 100] by [0, 100].

b. Observe that the curve is at first rather flat but then rises increasingly steeply as x nears 100. Predict what the graph of the derivative would look like.

c. Check your prediction by defining y2 to be the derivative of y1 (using NDERIV) and graphing both y1 and y2.
