Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 6.1, Problem 6.6PP
Explanation of Solution
Estimating year to buy rotating disk storage:
In between the 10-year period 2005 and 2015, the unit price of the rotating disk is dropped by a factor of 16.
This means that the price drops by a factor of “2” roughly in every 18 months or so...

4.1.1
Complete solution and answer only no need explanation
Given three data points (1,6), (3,28), and (10, 231), What is the value of y at x = 2 if the function y = 2x2 + 3x + 1 passes through the three data points.
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.
