Answer to Problem 56E

The cost of laying the cable in terms of distance is given by the function C(x)=1808002+x2+100(10560x) .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:The width of a river is 800 ft. The cost for laying a cable from the plant to a location to the opposite side in the city 2 mi downstream is $180 per foot across river and $100 per foot along the land.

The cable goes through the power plant to Q on opposite side x ft from point P .

  Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic: Solutions Manual, Chapter 1.2, Problem 56E , additional homework tip  1

Calculation:

Let the length of the cable from power plant to point Qbe y1 . Use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of cable y1 .

  y12=x2+8002y1=x2+8002

It is known that 2 mi=10,560 ft .

Let the length of the cable that along the land be y2 . So,

  y2=10560x

The function for laying the cable across the river and along the land is:

  C(x)=180y1+100y2C(x)=1808002+x2+100(10560x)

Therefore, the cost of laying the cable in terms of distance is given by the function C(x)=1808002+x2+100(10560x) .

(b)

To determine

To find:The least expensive location for point Q is less than 2000 ft or greater than 2000 ft from the point P .

Answer to Problem 56E

The least expensive location for point Q is less than 2000 ftfrom the point P .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:The width of a river is 800 ft. The cost for laying a cable from the plant to a location to the opposite side in the city 2 mi downstream is $180 per foot across river and $100 per foot along the land.

  Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic: Solutions Manual, Chapter 1.2, Problem 56E , additional homework tip  2

Calculation:

From part (a), the function that gives the cost of laying the cable in terms of distance is C(x)=1808002+x2+100(10560x) .

Substitute the different values of x and make a table for the cost.

    x C(x)
    0$1,200,000
    500$1,175,812
    1000$1,186,512
    1500$1,212,000
    2000$1,243,732
    2500$1,278,479
    3000$1,314,870

From the table it can be observed that the cost for lying a cable is least expensive when the location for point Q is less than 2000 ft from the point P .

Therefore, the least expensive location for point Q is less than 2000 ft from the point P .
