1. A pipeline is to be run to a resort community which is on an island 16 miles from the closest point on the shoreline. The water source for the pipe is 30 miles down the shore. If it costs $500/mile to lay pipe through water and $300/mile to lay pipe on land, at what point on the shoreline should the pipe turn into the water to minimize cost? What is the total cost? (see diagram)
2. A rectangular cardboard poster is to contain 216 square inches of printed matter with 2-inch margins at the sides and 3-inch margins at the top and bottom. Find the dimensions of the poster using the least amount of cardboard.
3. A poster is to have a total area of 125 square inches. The printed material is to be surrounded by a margin of 3 inches on top and margins of 2 inches on the sides and the bottom. Find the dimensions of the poster that will maximize the area of the printed material.
