The Millcreek watershed area was heavily strip-mined for coal during the late 1960s. Because of the resulting pollution, the streams cannot support fish. Suppose the cost C of obtaining stream water that contains p percent of the current pollution levels is given by 
. Because p is the percent of current pollution levels, ![]()

Use the restriction on p and determine a range for C so that an accurate graph can be obtained with a graphing utility. Describe what happens to the cost as p takes on positive values near 0.
?
A. Near p = 0, the cost approaches $2,860.
B. Near p = 0, the cost grows without bound.
C. Near p = 0, the cost approaches $286,000.
D. Near p = 0, cost approaches $0.
E. Near p = 0, the cost becomes negative.
