c). Consider Figure 2 below with the larger circle having a radius r  1. In MA211 lectures, the students were
entrusted to determine the polar equation of the small circle with the end goal that the concealed areas are
equivalent. Find the polar equation of the smaller circle? [Verify using Mathematica]

c). As a result of the water crisis in Lasa, the Lasa Department of Water, with the assistance of their engineers
and accountants decided to build a water line that has to be cost effective. The water line will be built
from point A to D , as shown in Figure 2. The cost differs, given as such: 3k from A to B , 2k from
B to C , and k from C to D, where the cost per kilometer is in dollars (for simplicity, let k  1 ). The
accountants worked together with the engineers to minimize the total cost. Use Lagrange multipliers to
find x, y and z such that the total cost C will be minimized. [Verify using Mathematica]
