- An engineer is designing a pipeline which is supposed to connect two points P and S. The engineer decides to do it in three sections. The first section runs from point P to point Q, and costs $48 per mile to lay, the second section runs from point Q to point R and costs $54 per mile, the third runs from point R to point S and costs $44 per mile. Looking at the diagram below, you see that if you know the lengths marked x and y, then you know the positions of Q and R. Find the values of x and y which minimize the cost of the pipeline. Please show your answers to 4 decimal places. 2 Miles x = 1 Mile R 10 miles miles y = milesarrow_forwardhelp on this, results givenarrow_forwardAn open-top rectangular box is being constructed to hold a volume of 150 in³. The base of the box is made from a material costing 7 cents/in². The front of the box must be decorated, and will cost 11 cents/in². The remainder of the sides will cost 3 cents/in². Find the dimensions that will minimize the cost of constructing this box. Please show your answers to at least 4 decimal places. Front width: Depth: in. in. Height: in.arrow_forward
- Find and classify the critical points of z = (x² – 8x) (y² – 6y). Local maximums: Local minimums: Saddle points: - For each classification, enter a list of ordered pairs (x, y) where the max/min/saddle occurs. Enter DNE if there are no points for a classification.arrow_forwardCalculate the 90% confidence interval for the population mean difference using the data in the attached image. I need to see where I went wrong.arrow_forwardSuppose that f(x, y, z) = (x − 2)² + (y – 2)² + (z − 2)² with 0 < x, y, z and x+y+z≤ 10. 1. The critical point of f(x, y, z) is at (a, b, c). Then a = b = C = 2. Absolute minimum of f(x, y, z) is and the absolute maximum isarrow_forward
