An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the ref

inery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 7 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $400,000/km over land to a point P on the north bank and $800,000/km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, how far from the refinery should P be located? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

To minimize the cost, we take the straight distance from the refinery to the other side of the river as 2 km. Also, the 7 km will be the distance that has to be traveled by the pipeline in land. The total cost, C, is therefore,
               total cost =   (2 km)($800,000/km) + (7 km)($400,000 /km)
                    total cost = $4,400,000
Thus, the total cost of the pipeline is approximately $4,400,000.00.

Find the particular solution of the differential equation that satisfies the initial condition f'(x) 4x, f(0) = 5 f(x) =
malfutka [58]

Answer: f(x)=2x^2+5

Step-by-step explanation:

First integrate f'(x) so we can find the funtion f(x):

4\int\limits {x} \, dx =4[\frac{1}{2} x^2]=2x^2+C=f(x)

The initial conditions say that when x = 0, the function equals 5. Let's write that down:

f(0)=5=2(0^2)+C=C

Therefore, the integration constant 'C' must equal 5. This means that our function is:

f(x)=2x^2+5
