Minimum Distance In Exercises 51-53, consider a fuel distribution center located at the origin of the rectangular
Minimize the sum of the lengths of the perpendicular feeder lines (see figure above and Exercise 77 in Section 1.2) from the trunk line to the factories given by
Find the equation of the trunk line by this method and then determine the sum of the lengths of the feeder lines. (Hint: Use a graphing utility to graph the function S3 and approximate the required critical number.)
