Lines, Line Segments, and Rays

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of Mathematics

In the city of Geometropolis, the streets were planned in such a way that they always meet at perfect right angles, forming a true tangle of straight lines. A citizen, Mr. Mathematician, needs to move from point A, located at the intersection of Matriz Street with Even Numbers Street, to point B, located at the intersection of Fundamental Theorem Street with Parallel Street. He wants to find the shortest path, which would necessarily be a straight line. However, the streets, although all straight, have different paving materials for construction reasons, and the cost of traveling through each of them is different. Matriz Street is considered a special road and has zero cost, Even Numbers Street has a unit cost of 5 monetary units per meter traveled, Fundamental Theorem Street costs 10 monetary units per meter, and Parallel Street, due to its luxurious finish, costs 15 monetary units per meter. Considering that Mr. Mathematician must follow a route consisting of exactly two straight segments, in addition to the initial stretch where he is, and that he can freely choose which sequence of streets to take, how should he plan his route to minimize the total cost of the journey, knowing that the length of the streets is 100 meters between each intersection and that he needs to travel a total of 300 meters?
a.
The Sr. Mathematician should choose a route that involves using two straight segments on Parallel Street, minimizing the total cost of the journey to 3000 monetary units.
b.
Mr. Mathematician should plan his route to follow a path composed of a straight segment on Even Numbers Street, followed by another straight segment on Fundamental Theorem Street, minimizing the total cost of the journey to 3000 monetary units.
c.
The Sr. Mathematician should plan his route to follow a straight segment from Matriz Street to Fundamental Theorem Street and then another straight segment to point B, minimizing the total cost of the journey to 2500 monetary units.
d.
The Sr. Mathematician should make his journey in a single straight segment, directly from point A to point B, minimizing the total cost of the journey to 2000 monetary units.
e.
The Sr. Mathematician should follow a path that includes a straight segment on Even Numbers Street and another on Parallel Street, minimizing the total cost of the journey to 4000 monetary units.

Consider a Cartesian coordinate system where a point P has coordinates (a, b) and a point Q has coordinates (c, d). The absolute value of a number is defined as its distance from the origin of this system. If point P is in the second quadrant and point Q is in the fourth quadrant, with a, b, c, and d being integers, and it is known that the absolute difference between the y coordinates of P and Q is 15, determine the value of a - c, knowing that a < 0 and c > 0.

In a large engineering system, a building is being designed and energy efficiency is a major concern. To ensure the efficiency of heating and cooling, the air conditioning system must be sized according to the specific needs of the building. The engineer in charge of the project must solve a system of linear equations to determine the ideal operating temperatures. Let the following be the system of equations that models the thermal behavior of the building: 2x + y + 3z = 10, 4x - 6y + 8z = 5, 3x + 7y + 5z = 18. The engineer must rewrite this system of equations in the matrix form Ax = b, where A is the matrix of coefficients, x is the vector of unknowns, and b is the vector of constant terms.
