Question

The amount of airborne particulate pollution p from a power plant depends on the wind speed s, among other things, with the relationship between p and s approximated by

p = 36 − 0.01s2.
(a) Find the value(s) of s that will make 
p = 0.
 (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
s

(b) What value of s from part (a) makes sense in the context of this application?
s = 

What does 
p = 0
 mean in this application?
p = 0
 means there the particulate level is at
