To lay a new cable from the plant to a location in the city 2 mi downstream on the opposite side costs $\$ 180$per foot across the river and$\$100$ per foot along the land.a. Suppose that the cable goes from the plant to a point $Q$ on the opposite side that is $x$ ft from the point $P$ directly opposite the plant. Write a function $C(x)$ that gives the cost of laying the cable in terms of the distance $x$.
