1.

You are a technician tasked with installing a new high-speed internet cable along a straight road that runs
through a hilly area. The road is represented by the equation 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 3. You have a customer’s house
located at the point (4,7). To minimize the cable installation cost, you need to determine the point along the
road closest to the customer’s house, where you will connect the cable.

a. Determine the point on the road (represented by the line from question 1) that is closest to the
customer’s house.

b. How much cable is needed to connect the customer’s house to the nearest point on the road? (1 unit
= 1 meter).

2. You work for a telecommunications company, and you need to determine the best location for a new cell
tower to provide optimal coverage to three existing towers. The coordinates of the existing cell towers are
as follows:

Tower A: (6, 9)
Tower B: (18, 6)
Tower C: (12, 12)

a. What is the circle area that encompasses all the towers such that the center of the area will be the
location of a new tower that will provide equal coverage among the existing towers?
3. Auto Time, a manufacturer of 24-hour variable timers, has a fixed monthly cost of $56,000 and a production

of the revenue for their marketing expenses.

a. Write the profit function 𝑃(𝑥). Make sure to simplify the function.

b. How many timers should they sell to profit $200,000?

c. What is the highest number of timers that will indicate the start of profit loss?

8. A bakery has the following pricing for large orders of cupcakes. The first 100 cupcakes of any order cost $2.00
each. Each of the next 150 cupcakes only cost $1.75 each. And each cupcake ordered in excess of 250 costs $1.25
each. The total cost 𝐶 is a function of the number of cupcakes ordered 𝑥.

a. Write the piecewise-defined function 𝐶.

b. If a school orders 15 dozen cupcakes for an event, what would be the total cost of their order?
