Summary Introduction
To determine: The locations where the warehouses must be located.
Non-linear programming (NLP):
Non-linear programming (NLP) is used in complex optimization problems where the objectives or constraints or sometimes both are non-linear functions of the decision variables. A model can be termed as non-linear for more than one reason.

The distance between two cities in the United States can be approximated by the following formula, where lat1 and long1 are the latitude and longitude of city 1 and lat2 and long2 are the latitude and longitude of city 2.

(lat1 − lat2)2 + (long1 − long2)2
Ted's daughter is getting married, and he is inviting relatives from 15 different locations in the United States. The file Wedding gives the longitude, latitude, and number of relatives in each of the 15 locations.
Ted would like to find a wedding location that minimizes the demand-weighted distance, where demand is the number of relatives at each location. Assuming that the wedding can occur anywhere, find the latitude and longitude of the optimal location. (Hint: Notice that all longitude values given for this problem are negative. Make sure that you do not check the option for Make Unconstrained Variables Non-Negative in Solver. Round your answers to three decimal places.)

A retail store in Des Moines, Iowa, receives shipments of a particular product from KansasCity and Minneapolis.
Let x 5 number of units of the product received from Kansas City y 5 number of units of the product received from Minneapolisa. Write an expression for the total number of units of the product received by the retail store in Des Moines.
b. Shipments from Kansas City cost $0.20 per unit, and shipments from Minneapolis cost$0.25 per unit. Develop an objective function representing the total cost of shipments to Des Moines.
c. Assuming the monthly demand at the retail store is 5000 units, develop a constraint that requires 5000 units to be shipped to Des Moines.
d. No more than 4000 units can be shipped from Kansas City, and no more than 3000 units can be shipped from Minneapolis in a month. Develop constraints to model this situation.
e. Of course, negative amounts cannot be shipped. Combine the objective function and constraints developed to state a mathematical model…
