4. A coffee supplier finds that it costs $850 to roast and package 100 pounds of coffee in a day and $2850 to produce 500 pounds of coffee in a day. Assume that the cost function is linear. Express the cost as a function of the number pounds of coffee they produce each day. 5. Factor $y^5 - 6y^4 + 9y^3$

A coffee company has found that the marginal cost, in dollars per pound, of the coffee it roasts is represented by the function below, where x is the number of pounds of coffee roasted. Find the total cost of roasting 280 lb of coffee, disregarding any fixed costs. C'(x) = -0.013x + 7.25, for x ≤ 500 The total cost is $. (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
