Suppose that you want to model the height of a ider on a Feris wheel as a function of time, in minutes. If the rider is at the bottom of the Ferris wheel at t = 0 minutes, which of the following would be easiest to use?
A) the cosine function unreflected
B) the sine function unreflected
C) the cosine function reflected about its midline
D) the sine function reflected about its midline

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
