The cost of the mulch is represented by the expression [tex]\rm g(m) = 1.5(\pi x^2 - 2\sqrt{2} x^2)[/tex] and this can be determined by using the given data.
Given :
- The area is represented by the function m(x), where x is the length of the radius of the circle in feet.
- The homeowner estimates that he will pay $1.50 per square foot of mulch.
- Cost is represented by the function g(m), where m is the area requiring mulch.
- [tex]\rm m(x) = \pi x^2 -2\sqrt{2}x^2[/tex]
- [tex]\rm g(m)=1.50 m[/tex]
Given data is used to determine the expression represents the cost of the mulch based on the radius of the circle.
Given that the cost of the mulch is represented by:
[tex]\rm g(m)=1.50 m[/tex]
Now, put the value of m that is, [tex]\rm m(x) = \pi x^2 -2\sqrt{2}x^2[/tex] in the above equation.
[tex]\rm g(m) = 1.5(\pi x^2 - 2\sqrt{2} x^2)[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is A).
