Answer:

the woman has to live 1 mile from work to minimize the expenses

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the distance within 9 miles ⇒ 0 < x > 9

Total costs Q = cx + 4c/( x + 1)

costs should be minimum  ⇒ dQ/dx = 0

⇒ d/dx [ cx + 4c/( x + 1) ] = 0

⇒ ( x + 1)² = 4

take square root of both side

√[ ( x + 1)² ] = √4

x + 1 = 2

x = 2 - 1

x = 1

Therefore, the woman has to live 1 mile from work to minimize the expenses
