Solve each optimization problem.

1) A company has started selling a new type of smartphone at the price of $110 − 0.05 x where x
is the number of smartphones manufactured per day. The parts for each smartphone cost $50
and the labor and overhead for running the plant cost $6000 per day. How many smartphones
should the company manufacture and sell per day to maximize profit? (Remember that Profit = Revenue -
Cost)

2) A rancher wants to construct two identical rectangular corrals using 200 ft of fencing. The
rancher decides to build them adjacent to each other, so they share fencing on one side. What
dimensions should the rancher use to construct each corral so that together, they will enclose the
largest possible area?

3) A cryptography expert is deciphering a computer code. To do this, the expert needs to


minimize the product of a positive rational number and a negative rational number, given that the
positive number is exactly 8 greater than the negative number. What final product is the expert
looking for?

4) A rancher wants to construct two identical rectangular corrals using 400 ft of fencing. The
rancher decides to build them adjacent to each other, so they share fencing on one side. What
dimensions should the rancher use to construct each corral so that together, they will enclose the
largest possible area?

5) Engineers are designing a box-shaped aquarium with a square bottom and an open top. The
aquarium must hold 500 ft³ of water. What dimensions should they use to create an acceptable
aquarium with the least amount of glass?

6) Which point on the graph of y = x is closest to the point (5, 0)?

7) A geometry student wants to draw a rectangle inscribed in a semicircle of radius 8. If one side
must be on the semicircle's diameter, what is the area of the largest rectangle that the student
can draw?

8) Two vertical poles, one 4 ft high and the other 16 ft high, stand 15 feet apart on a flat field. A
worker wants to support both poles by running rope from the ground to the top of each post. If
the worker wants to stake both ropes in the ground at the same point, where should the stake
be placed to use the least amount of rope?

9) An architect is designing a composite window by attaching a semicircular window on top of a


rectangular window, so the diameter of the top window is equal to and aligned with the width of
the bottom window. If the architect wants the perimeter of the composite window to be 18 ft,
what dimensions should the bottom window be in order to create the composite window with
the largest area?
