Wedding Planning. The distance between two cities in the United States can be approximated by
the following formula, where lat₁ and long, are the latitude and longitude of city 1 and lat2 and
long, are the latitude and longitude of city 2:
69 (lat₁ - lat₂)² + (long₁ − long₂)²
Ted's daughter is getting married, and he is inviting relatives from 15 different locations in the
United States. The file Wedding gives the longitude, latitude, and number of relatives in each of the
15 locations. Ted would like to find a wedding location that minimizes the demand-weighted
distance, where demand is the number of relatives at each location. Assuming that the wedding can
occur anywhere, find the latitude and longitude of the optimal location. (Hint: Notice that all
longitude values given for this problem are negative. Make sure that you do not check the option for
Make Unconstrained Variables Non-Negative in Solver.)
