A national flu inoculation program is initiated to combat a particularly virulent strain of flu. The following Rational Function, C(x) = x+1300 100-x 3 describes the cost, C(x), in millions of dollars, to inoculate x% of the Canadian population against this strain of flu. The goal of this tutorial is to graph this function and analyze and interpret the graph within the problem context. a) Simplify the right-hand side of this function to one fraction, fully factored: Use only the simplified form of the function to answer the remaining questions. b) Find the y-intercept by setting x to zero. Express your answer as a coordinate point: State the significance of this point in the problem context: c) Find the x-intercept of this function. Express your answer as a coordinate point: Why is the x-intercept of this function not relevant in this context? d) Find the equation of the vertical asymptote: State the mathematical domain of this function in interval notation: e) Determine whether this problem is case 1 or case 2: State the equation of the horizontal asymptote: A national flu inoculation program is initiated to combat a particularly virulent strain of flu.
