Question

A taxi has 2 passengers when it starts at A. It must drop off one person at B and the third at C. The arrows represent one-way streets.

Route 1: AB→ + BE→ + EC→

Route 2: AB→ + BD→ + DC→AB→  is common in both routes, hence same timing.

Route 1: BE→ + EC→=3 westward blocks + 3 northward blockstime taken=3×6 + 3×12time taken=54min

Route 2: BD→ + DC→=3 northward blocks+3 westward blocks time taken=3×12 + 3×6time taken=54min

d) Is there a best route? Is it unique?

e) Identify which vector properties are used in your solution.

f) If the taxi charges for mileage are $0.50/rectangular block and the time charges are $0.10/minute, what is the cheapest route from A to C? How much should each passenger pay?
