In Exercises 1 3, use the following information: After much discussion, the Konigsberg city council decided that it would be a good thing if the city's residents succeeded in _finding a bridge walk. That is. a walk that would take the walker across each of the city's bridges once. Council members reasoned that a bridge walk would Joseter civic pride and attract tourists. They voted to close one bridge if doing so would allow the creation of a bridge walk. ( Note: The Konigsberg story presented earlier in this section is true. However, the details presented in the exercises are not.
Is there a bridge whose closure would create a bridge walk if the walk's starting point had to be different from its stopping point? If your answer is "yes," specify the bridge, draw a graph of the new six-bridge system, and describe the walk. If your answer is "no," explain why.

The two styles of setting used were modern and classic. Over the course of several months, 56 boulders were set using the modern style and 49 boulders were set using the classic style. The number of routes that were completed at least once was recorded. For the modern style boulders, 37 of them were completed. For classic style, 30 were completed. Research Question: Are classic boulders harder to complete than modern boulders?

The locations of the county’s four major towns are as follows: (10, 20), (60, 20), (40, 30), and (80, 60) (see Figure 7.50). Town 1 averages 40 fires per year; town 2, 25 fires; town 3, 20 fires; and town 4, 30 fires. The county wants to build the fire station in a location that minimizes the average distance that a fire engine must travel to respond to a fire. Because most roads run in either an east-west or a north-south direction, the fire engine must do the same. For example, if the fire station is located at (30, 40) and a fire occurs at town 4, the fire engine has to travel |80 - 30| + |60 - 40| = 70 miles to the fire. a. Determine where the fire station should be located. Round your answers to three decimal places.
