A company has tow electric motors consume varying amounts of power. The power consumed by each motor is a function of the time (t in minutes) for which it runs. The cost of power (in $) to run one motor is given by the function Ca(t)=t^2-2t+5. The cost of running the second motor is given by Cb(t)=3t+2. Which gives the total cost of running both motors?

C(t)=3t^3-6t^2+15t
C(t)=2t^2-4t+10
C(t)=t^2+t+7
C(t)=3t^3+6t^2-15t

Cost of running both would be Cost of 1st + Cost of 2nd. So you can add both equations to find the cost of both.
