The top one is the question, the middle one is how I solved it, and the bottom is how my professor solved it. I’m not sure why my answer is wrong and I’m confused about how my professor solved it. ### Optimization Problem: Minimizing Cost of Laying Pipe#### Problem DescriptionYou need to lay a pipe from point A to point B. The setup is as follows:- The direct horizontal distance between point A and point Q is 4 km.- The vertical distance from point Q to point B is 20 km.- The pipe can be laid underwater at a cost of $8,000 per kilometer or underground at a cost of $5,000 per kilometer.- The goal is to find the point P on line AQ that minimizes the total cost of laying the pipe from A to B.#### Diagram ExplanationA diagram illustrates the configuration with:- Point A located 4 km horizontally from point Q.- A vertical line from point Q to point B, which is 20 km long.- A proposed point P on line AQ, such that the distance from A to Q is labeled as x km.#### Cost Equation DerivationThe total cost $ C $ is given by the sum of the costs for laying the pipe underwater and underground:\[ C = 8000 \times \sqrt{x^2 + 16} + 5000 \times (20 - x)\]Where:- $ \sqrt{x^2 + 16} $ is the underwater distance (using the Pythagorean theorem).- $ 20 - x $ is the underground distance.#### Finding Minimum CostTo find the optimal point P that minimizes the cost:1. Differentiate the cost function $ C $ with respect to $ x $:\[\frac{dC}{dx} = 8000 \times \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2 + 16}} - 5000 = 0 \]2. Solve for $ x $:\[\frac{8000x}{\sqrt{x^2 + 16}} = 5000\]3. Simplifying the equation, solve using algebra to find $ x $:\[8000x = 5000\sqrt{x^2 + 16}\]4. Solving this equation:\[64x^2 = 25(x^2 + 16)\]\[39x^2 = 400\]\[x^2 = \frac{400}{39}\]\[x \approx \sqrt{\frac{400}{39}} \approx 3.

A vendor had a basket of water melons. Her first costumer said, " sell me half of your water melons plus 1/2 of one water melon." The vendor did so. A second costumer said, “ sell me half of your water melons plus 1/2 of one water melon." The vendor did do too. A third costumer came and said the same thing as the other two said and when the vendor sold him what he wanted, all her water melons were sold. How many water melons were originally in the basket?
