2. Your senior project is to design the most economical tomato soup can. The can must hold 400 cm3. The top and the bottom will cost C.10 per cm? and the side's cost is C.08 per cm?. To minimize waste, you plan to cut the top and the bottom from two square pieces of aluminum. You anticipate that cutting the side (which is a rectangle) will not produce any waste. What should the dimensions of the can be so the cost of the material (including the waste from cutting the top and bottom) is minimal?

If the cost of each Robust tablet increases to 75 c and the cost of each Vigortab increases to 80 c , find the minimum cost.
A farmer wants to start raising cows, horses, goats, and sheep and desires to have a rectangular pasture for the animals to graze in. However, no two different kinds of animals can graze together. In order to minimize the amount of fencing she will need, she has decided to enclose a large rectangular area and then divide it into four equally sized pens by adding three segments of fence inside the large rectangle that are parallel to two existing sides (see attached image). She has decided to purchase 7500 ft of fencing. What is the maximum possible area that each of the four pens will enclose? Make sure to include units in your answer.
Suppose W-Mart is considering purchasing a parcel of land adjacent to the current site on which it plans to build its store. The cost of the parcel is $190,000, and it would enable WMart to increase the size of its store to 160,000 square feet. Discuss whether W-Mart should purchase the land and increase the planned size of the store.
The water-supply manager for a Midwest city needs to supply the city with at least 10 million gal of potable (drinkable) water per day. The supply may be drawn from the local reservoir or from a pipeline to an adjacent town. The local reservoir has a maximum daily yield of 6 million gallons of potable water, and the pipeline has a maximum daily yield of 10 million gallons. By contract, the pipeline is required to supply a minimum of 6 million gallons/day. If the cost for 1 million gallons of reservoir water is $300 and that for pipeline water is $600, how much water should the manager get from each source to minimize daily water costs, C, for the city?
Part of the agreement between your spouse and yourself for purchasing a larger house than you could currently afford was that you would build a garden and sell produce to make some extra money. Your plan is that the garden proceeds will cover 20% of your $1,500 mortgage payment for four months during the year. The Homeowner association has recently reinforced that ‘food-production’ space must be in the backyard and may not consume more that 20% of the backyard. If your backyard is 60’ x 130’, how many dollars per garden square foot will you need to average per production month in order to meet your planned mortgage reduction?
The water-supply manager for Minneapolis needs to supply the city with at least 13 million gallons of potable water per day. The supply may be drawn from the local reservoir or from a pipeline to an adjacent town. The local reservoir has a maximum daily yield of 14 million gallons of potable water, and the pipeline has a maximum daily yield of 7 million gallons. By contract, the pipeline is required to supply a minimum of 6 million gallons per day. If the cost for 1 million gallons of reservoir water is $500 and the cost for 1 million gallons of pipeline water is $370, how much water should the manager get from each source to minimize daily water costs for the city? What is the minimum daily water cost?
A doughnut shop has two kitchens in which the dough is rolled out and cut. Kitchen 1 can produce up to 150 dozen per day and kitchen 2 can produce up to 125 dozen per day. The dough is then sent via conveyor belt to one of two deep fryers. The cost of sending the dough by the conveyor belt from the kitchens to the fryers is given below. From the deep fryers, the doughnuts are then loaded onto trays and sent to the bakery to be glazed. The cost to send doughnuts from Fryer A to the bakery to be glazed is $0.40 per dozen and the cost to send doughnuts from Fryer B to the bakery to be glazed is $0.33 per dozen. Additionally, doughnuts can be moved between the two fryers by cart for $0.12 per dozen. The bakery has a fixed daily demand of 200 dozen. Formulate a balanced transshipment problem to minimize the cost of meeting the bakery’s demand. Draw the network OR write the associated linear program.
The water-supply manager for San Francisco needs to supply the city with at least 19 million gallons of potable water per day. The supply may be drawn from the local reservoir or from a pipeline to an adjacent town. The local reservoir has a maximum daily yield of 19 million gallons of potable water, and the pipeline has a maximum daily yield of 14 million gallons. By contract, the pipeline is required to supply a minimum of 9 million gallons per day. If the cost for 1 million gallons of reservoir water is $455 and the cost for 1 million gallons of pipeline water is $310, how much water should the manager get from each source to minimize daily water costs for the city? What is the minimum daily water cost?Minimum daily water cost: $_____Pipeline: _____ million gallonsReservoir: ______ million gallons
A man launches his boat from point A on a bank of a straight river, 3 km wide, and wants to reach point B, 2 km downstream on the opposite bank, as quickly as possible (see the figure below). He could row his boat directly across the river to point C and then run to B, or he could row directly to B, or he could row to some point D between C and B and then run to B. If he can row 6 km/h and run 8 km/h, where should he land to reach B as soon as possible? (We assume that the speed of the water is negligible compared to the speed at which the man rows.) It wants me to find the km from C, would appreciate some help.
Travon is a landscape architect who has received a $300,000 budget from the city to build a new park. From experience, Travon knows that the budget is 13 for the materials, 12 for the labor, and the remainder for the anticipated profit margin. The dimensions for the park are 600×400 square feet and the specifications require 52,500 ft2 (square feet) of flower/tree gardens; 15,000 ft2 of playground equipment area; 30,000 ft2 of walkways; and 112,500 ft2 of open green space. Complete parts 1 through 4 below. 1. What is the expected dollar amount for materials, labor, and profit, and what fraction of the cost does profit represent? Solve for the expected dollar amount for materials and labor. $ for materials $ for labor
A man launches his boat from point A on a bank of a straight river, 4 km wide, and wants to reach point B, 3 km downstream on the opposite bank, as quickly as possible (see the figure below). He could row his boat directly across the river to point C and then run toB, or he could row directly to B, or he could row to some point D between C and B and then run to B. If he can row 6 km/h and run 8 km/h, where should he land to reach B as soon as possible? (We assume that the speed of the water is negligible compared to the speed at which the man rows.)
