A steel company produces two types of machine dies, part A and part B. The company makes a $2.00 profit on each part A that it produces and a $6.00 profit on each part B that it produces. Let x = the number of part A produced in a week and y = the number of part B produced in a week. Write the objective function that describes the total weekly profit.

z = 2(x – 6) + 6(y – 2)
z = 8(x + y)
z = 2x + 6y
z = 6x + 2y

Two LORAN stations are positioned 248 miles apart along a straight shore. A ship records a time difference of 0.00086 seconds between the LORAN signals. (The radio signals travel at 186,000 miles per second.) Where will the ship reach shore if it were to follow the hyperbola corresponding to this time difference? If the ship is 200 miles offshore, what is the position of the ship?

44 miles from the master station, ( 186.9, 200)
