Questiоn 2. [35 pоints] Lifeline’s current nаtiоnwide demаnds аre shown in Table1. Managers at Lifeline are designing the manufacturing network and have selected five potential sites- Philadelphia, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Portland, and Nashville. Plants could have a capacity of 200,000, 300,000, or 400,000 units. The annual fixed costs at the five locations and the transport costs are shown in Table 2. Lifeline has a single sourcing strategy such that facilities at a single location supply to a demand location. Where should Lifeline build its factories and how large should they be? Note that Lifeline can build multiple facilities in a location.  [10 points] Define all the decision variables and cost parameters that you need to construct the model.

Objective:Write а C prоgrаm thаt can either cоmpute the dоt product of two vectors (arrays) or perform scalar multiplication between a scalar and a vector, based on user inputs regarding the sizes and elements of the vectors.   Problem Description: Your task is to develop a C program that starts by asking the user to specify the dimensions of two arrays, n1 and n2. The program should then proceed based on the following rules:   I. Dimension Compatibility Check: If n1 and n2 are not equal and neither is 1, output "Couldn't perform dot product because there is a size mismatch." If n1 and n2 are equal, proceed to calculate the dot product of the two arrays. If one of the dimensions is 1 (indicating scalar multiplication), treat the corresponding input as a scalar and multiply it with the other array.     II. Input Handling: For dot product or scalar multiplication, prompt the user to enter the elements of the arrays or the scalar value as required by the dimensions provided. Individual Number Prompting: Each number must be prompted for and entered individually to ensure accuracy and clarity in data collection.   III. Computations: Dot Product: If n1 equals n1 and both are greater than 1, read the elements of both arrays and calculate the dot product. Scalar Multiplication: If n1 or n2 is 1, treat the corresponding input as a scalar and perform multiplication with the other array's elements.   IV. Output Results: Print the result of the dot product or the new values of the array after scalar multiplication. Display error messages for dimension mismatches.   V. Sample Examples Case 1 Dot Product (the output format of the program must exactly match the example provided)     Case 2 Scalar * Array (the output format of the program must exactly match the example provided.)   Case 3.  When we typed mismatching dimensions. (the output format of the program must exactly match the example provided.)           ================================================================ The dot product of two vectors is calculated by multiplying corresponding elements of the vectors and then summing those products. If we have two vectors Amathbf{A} and Bmathbf{B}, each with nnn elements, their dot product A⋅Bmathbf{A} cdot mathbf{B} is computed as follows: A⋅B=A1B1+A2B2+…+AnBnmathbf{A} cdot mathbf{B} = A_1B_1 + A_2B_2 + ldots + A_nB_n​ Where A1,A2,…,AnA_1, A_2, ldots, A_n are the elements of vector Amathbf{A}, and B1,B2,…,BnB_1, B_2, ldots, B_n​ are the elements of vector Bmathbf{B}.   Example: Let’s say we have two vectors:     A=[2,3,4] and B=[5,6,7] The dot product is calculated as follows: mathbf{A} cdot mathbf{B} = (2 times 5) + (3 times 6) + (4 times 7) A⋅B=(2×5)+(3×6)+(4×7)   Breaking it down step by step: 2×5=102 times 5 = 10 3×6=183 times 6 = 18 4×7=284 times 7 = 28 Now, summing up these products: 10+18+28=5610 + 18 + 28 = 56 A⋅B=56mathbf{A} cdot mathbf{B} = 56
