Centerville is the headquarters of greedy cablevision inc. the cable company is about to expand service to two nearby towns, springfield and shelbyville. there needs to be cable connecting centerville to both towns. the idea is to save on the cost of cable by arranging the cable in a y-shaped configuation. centerville is located at ( 12 , 0 ) (12,0) in the x y xy-plane, springfield is at ( 0 , 4 ) (0,4), and shelbyville is at ( 0 , − 4 ) (0,-4). the cable runs from centerville to some point ( x , 0 ) (x,0) on the x x-axis where it splits into two branches going to springfield and shelbyville. find the location ( x , 0 ) (x,0) that will minimize the amount of cable between the 3 towns and compute the amount of cable needed. justify your answer.

i'm pretty sure the answer is 60.

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
