Problem 2
A model used to estimate the time it will take to hike to the top of the mountain on a trail is of the form where and are constants, is the time in minutes, is the length of the trail in miles, and is the altitude gain in feet. The model estimates that it will take minutes to hike to the top if a trail is miles long and ascends feet, as well as if a trail is miles long and ascends feet. How many minutes does the model estimates it will take to hike to the top if the trail is miles long and ascends feet?

Carl places -inch toothpicks along some of the sides of the squares to create a closed loop that does not intersect itself. The numbers in the cells indicate the number of sides of that square that are to be covered by toothpicks, and any number of toothpicks are allowed if no number is written. In how many ways can Carl place the toothpicks?
