Transcribed Image Text:### Problem 3
A 28-inch-wide sheet of metal is to be bent into a rectangular trough with the cross-section shown in the diagram.
#### Diagram Explanation:
- The diagram depicts a rectangular trough's cross-section formed by bending a metal sheet.
- The cross-section has:
- **Depth (d)**: represented by the vertical dimension.
- **Width (w)**: represented by the horizontal base of the trough.
- The metal sheet's total width is labeled as **28 inches**.
#### Task:
Find the dimensions that will maximize the amount of water the trough can hold, i.e., find the dimensions that will maximize the cross-sectional area.
#### Options:
a. \( d = 7 \, \text{in.}, \, w = 21 \, \text{in.} \)
b. \( d = 7 \, \text{in.}, \, w = 14 \, \text{in.} \)
c. \( d = 7 \, \text{in.}, \, w = 7 \, \text{in.} \)
d. \( d = 5.6 \, \text{in.}, \, w = 11.2 \, \text{in.} \)
e. \( d = 14 \, \text{in.}, \, w = 14 \, \text{in.} \)

### Problem 4
A 270-room hotel is two-thirds filled when the nightly room rate is $100. Experience has shown that each $10 increase in cost results in 20 fewer occupied rooms. Find the nightly rate that will maximize income.
#### Options:
a. $45.00
b. $285.00
c. $185.00
d. $150.00
e. $200.00
