I have an assignment due tonight and I believe I have solved it all correctly until I come to part d of the question. "For what value is this equation undefined?" How do I determine this?
The Environment
Environmental and wildlife preservation ensures future generations will have available resources and can enjoy the beauty of Earth. On the other hand, some of the damage humans have already done to the environment is expensive and time consuming to eradicate.

The formula's are not posting but I have solved the questions. I just need to know how I determine how the equation is undefined.

a. What is the cost to remove 75% of the pollutant?
b. What is the cost to remove 90 % of the pollutant?
c. What is the cost to remove 99% of the pollutant
d. For what value is this equation undefined?
e. Do the answers to sections a–d match your expectations? Why or why not?
When a denominator is zero.
These are not answered correctly. The correct way is to use a whole number to solve, not as a percent. You will end up with an incorrect answer using it in percent form.
To determine for what value the equation is undefined, you need to look at the denominator of the equation. In this case, the denominator is (200 - 2(.99)).
To find the value for which this equation is undefined, you need to identify the value that would make the denominator equal to zero. When the denominator is zero, the equation becomes undefined because division by zero is not possible.
So, you need to solve the equation (200 - 2(.99)) = 0 to find the value that makes it undefined.
Here's how you can solve it:
1. Distribute the -2 to .99: (200 - 2 * .99) = 0
2. Simplify the equation: (200 - 1.98) = 0
3. Combine like terms: (198.02) = 0
As you can see, there is no solution to this equation because it is not possible for 198.02 to equal zero. Therefore, the equation is undefined for any value.
In conclusion, there is no specific value for which this equation is undefined.
