Chapter 13.4, Problem 34E
As a new suburban neighborhood is being built, the local utility company needs to run underground wires to get power to all of the houses. It plans on four main distribution nodes that will in turn be connected to the main distribution center for that area. The distances in feet between the nodes and the distribution center are supplied in the table. It will cost $290 per foot to install the buried cable. Use a minimum spanning tree to connect all necessary locations at the lowest possible cost. What is the minimum cost?

A rectangular vault is to be constructed on an existing floor at a bank so as to enclose avolume of 485 cubic meters. The cost per square meter of materials is $2,000 for the ceiling,$9,000 for the wall with the door and $3,000 for the other three walls. The minimized costof the vault rounded to the nearest $1,000 dollars is:a. $964,000b. $971,000c. $982,000d. $993,000
A large lot in a park is going to be split into two softball fields, and each field will be enclosed with a fence.
A rectangular lot, wider in width than it is tall in height, is shown. A vertical line begins about halfway across the top of the rectangle extends down to bottom side, splitting the lot in two.
The top side length is labeled y.
The left and right side lengths are labeled x, as well as the middle vertical line.
The parks and recreation department has 2,700 feet of fencing to enclose the fields. What dimensions will enclose the greatest area?

A solar power field is located on the south bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A power line is to be constructed from the solar field to an electric substation located on the north bank of the river 4 km east of the solar field. The cost of running the power line is $100,000/km overland and $200,000/km under the river. To minimize the cost of the power line, how much of the power line should be run overland?

Where should the underwater cable meet the shoreline in order to minimize the construction cost? .

- Do beavers benefit beetles? Researchers laid out 23 circular plots, each 4 meters in diameter, in an area where beavers were cutting down cottonwood trees. In each plot, they counted the number of stumps from trees cut by beavers and the number of clusters of beetle larvae. Ecologists think that the new sprouts from stumps are more tender than other cottonwood growth, so that beetles prefer them. If so, more stumps should produce more beetle larvae. The table contains the data.
