Answer:To find the original function

(

)

C(x), you integrate

dx

dC

with respect to

x:

(

)

=

(

16

3

+

9

)

C(x)=∫(

3

16

x+9)dx

(

)

=

8

3

2

+

9

+

C(x)=

3

8

x

2

+9x+K

Now, to determine the constant of integration (

K), you can use the given information that

=

180

C=180 when

=

17

x=17:

180

=

8

3

(

17

)

2

+

9

(

17

)

+

180=

3

8

(17)

2

+9(17)+K

Solve for

K:

180

=

8

3

(

289

)

+

153

+

180=

3

8

(289)+153+K

180

=

2312

3

+

153

+

180=

3

2312

+153+K

180

=

770.

6

+

153

+

180=770.

6

+153+K

180

923.

6

+

180≈923.

6

+K

180

923.

6

K≈180−923.

6

743.

6

K≈−743.

6

Now, you can write the complete expression for

(

)

C(x):

(

)

=

8

3

2

+

9

743.

6

C(x)=

3

8

x

2

+9x−743.

6

Therefore, the function

(

)

C(x) is given by the equation above.
