Travel costs A simple model for travel costs involves the cost of gasoline and the cost of a driver. Specifically, assume gasoline costs $p/gallon and the vehicle gets g miles per gallon. Also assume the driver earns $w/hour.
b. At what speed does the gas mileage function have its maximum?

e. Should the optimal speed be increased or decreased (compared with part (d)) if L is increased from 400 mi to 500 mi? Explain.

Find the height h, radius r, and volume of a right circular cylinder with maximum volume that is inscribed in a sphere of radius R.

Suppose you own a tour bus and you book groups of 20 to 70 people for a day tour. The cost per person is \$30 minus \$0.25 for every ticket sold. If gas and other miscellaneous costs are \$200, how many tickets should you sell to maximize your profit? Treat the number of tickets as a nonnegative real number.
