The cost of controlling emissions at a firm rises rapidly as the

model:
C(q)
= 4,300 + 92q2
where q is the reduction in emissions (in
pounds of pollutant per day) and C is the daily
cost to the firm (in dollars) of this reduction. What level of

2) What would be the resulting average cost to the nearest
dollar?
$ per pound:
