Practice Problem 1.1 (solution page 28)
Suppose you work as a truck driver, and you have been hired to carry a load of potatoes from Boise, Idaho, to Minneapolis, Minnesota, a total distance of 2,500 kilometers. You estimate you can average 100 km/hr driving within the speed limits, requiring a total of 25 hours for the trip.
- A. You hear on the news that Montana has just abolished its speed limit, which constitutes 1,500 km of, the trip. Your truck can travel at 150 km/hr. What will be your speedup for the trip?
- B. You can buy a new turbocharger for your truck at www.fasttrucks.com. They stock a variety of models, but the faster you want to go, the more it will cost. How fast must you travel through Montana to get an overall speedup for your trip 1.67×?

PROBLEM 13. [TIME ALLOWED = 5 MINUTES]
Give the contrapositive, converse, and inverse of the following proposition:
“If the number is positive, then its square is positive.”
3. The diagram below shows the main land routes for vehicular traffic between points A and G in a city. The figures in the arcs represent the cost of traveling between each pair of nodes.
a) Manually apply Dijkstra's algorithm to find the cheapest route between A and G (visited nodes and total distance).
b) Formulate a linear programming problem in extended form, to determine the shortest route to travel from A to G. Do not use subscripts, name 14 variables, for example XFE would be the variable that indicates that the arc from F to E is used.
c) If there is a fixed cost for visiting each node, modify the formulation of the problem to include said fixed cost in the objective function, and the variables and restrictions that are required.

(5,10,10): Soccer A local high school soccer team has 20 players. However, only 11 players play at any given time during a game. In how many ways can the coach choose 11 players To be more realistic, the 11 players playing a game normally consist of 4 midfielders, 3 defend ers, 3 attackers and 1 goalkeeper. Assume that there are 7 midfielders, 6 defenders, 5 attackers and 2 goalkeepers on the team 2. In how many ways can the coach choose a group of 4 midfielders, 3 defenders, 3 attackers and 1 goalkeeper? 3. Assume that one of the defenders can also play attacker.

List all the necessary components for a static game in normal form. After that list all the components of a dynamic game in extended form. Explain the differences and why they are necessarily present. Basically, a game in Normal form has 3 components, while a game in extended has 7 listed in video lectures. Your goal is to identify how are dynamic games different and which differences necessitate the additional components.arrow_forward
- (Oceanography) The pressure, P, exerted on an underwater object can be determined by this formula: P=gh is the density of water, which is 1.94slug/ft3 . g is the acceleration caused by Earth’s gravity, which is 32.2ft/sec2. h is the object’s depth in the water in feet. a. Determine the units of P by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for pressure listed in Table 1.1. b. Determine the pressure on a submarine operating at a depth of 2500 feet.arrow_forwardProblem 1: The monthly payment M of a loan amount P for y years and with interest rate r can be calculated by the formula: P(r/12) M = 1-(1+r/12)-12y Calculate the monthly payment and the total payment for a $100,000 loan for 10, 11, 12, ..., 29, 30 years with an interest rate of 4.85%.
