a well driller charges $9.00 per foot for the first 10 feet, 9.10 per foot for the next 10 feet, $9.

a well driller charges $9.00 per foot for the first 10 feet, 9.10 per foot for the next 10 feet, $9.20 per foot for the next 10 feet, and so on, at a price increase of $0.10 per foot for succeeding intervals of 10 feet. How much does it cost to drill a well to a depth of 150 feet?

Set up the cost function C(f) where f is the number of feet:
Cost = 9(10) + 9.1(10) + 9.2(10) + 9.3(10) + 9.4(10) + 9.5(10) + 9.6(10) + 9.7(10) + 9.8(10) + 9.9(10) + 10(10) + 10.1(10) + 10.2(10) + 10.3(10) + 10.4(10)
Cost = 1,455
