Centerville is the headquarters of Greedy Cablevision Inc. The cable company is about to expand service to two nearby towns, Springfield and Shelbyville. There needs to be cable connecting Centerville to both towns. The idea is to save on the cost of cable by arranging the cable in a Y-shaped configuration.
Centerville is located at (12,0) in the x -plane, Springfield is at (0,6) , and Shelbyville is at (0,−6) . The cable runs from Centerville to some point (x,0) on the x-axis where it splits into two branches going to Springfield and Shelbyville. Find the location (x,0) that will minimize the amount of cable between the 3 towns and compute the amount of cable needed. Justify your answer.
To solve this problem we need to minimize the following function of x :
f (x) = ?
We find that f(x) has a critical number at x = ?
To verify that f(x) has a minimum at this critical number we compute the second derivative f''(x) and find that its value at the critical number is ? , a positive number.
Thus the minimum length of cable needed is ?

Consider this equation. |y + 6| = 2 what can be concluded of the equation? check all that apply. there will be one solution. there will be two solutions. the solution to –(y + 6) = 2 will be also be a solution to the given absolute value equation. the solution(s) will be the number(s) on the number line 2 units away from –6. the value of y must be positive since the variable is inside absolute value signs.
