Answer:
(-5p + 2)(-p + 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
-52p + 20
(-5p + 2)(-p + 10)
You can double check this by using the distributive property..
-5p * -p = -5p^2
2*-p = -2p
10*-5p = -50p
10*2 = 20
-5p^2 + -2p + -50p + 20
Now we combine like terms and simplify
-5p^2 -52p + 20
So, we are correct
Answer:
7.86 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance point P lies east of the refinery. (We assume this direction is downriver from the refinery.)
The cost of laying pipe to P from the refinery (in millions of $) will be ...
0.5√(1² +x²)
The cost of laying pipe under the river from P to the storage facility will be ...
1.0√(2² +(9-x)²) = √(85 -18x +x²)
We want to minimize the total cost c. That total cost is ...
c = 0.5√(x² +1) +√(x² -18x +85)
The minimum value is best found using technology. (Differentiating c with respect to x results in a messy radical equation that has no algebraic solution.) A graphing calculator shows it to be at about x ≈ 7.86 km.
Point P should be located about 7.86 km downriver from the refinery.
