Need help!! Polluted water flows into a pond. The concentration of pollutant,c, in the pond at time t minutes is modelled by the equation c(t)= 9-90000(1/10000+3t), where c is measured in kilograms per cubic metre. a) When will the concentration of pollutant in the pond reach 6kg/m^3? b) What will happen to the concentration of pollutant over time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a, set the c(t) equation equal to 6kg/m^3 and solve for t

this of course assumes that the value of each individual comic was the same thruout ... otherwise theres no real way to tell how much each one was.
