A motorist needs to visit a total of 6 cities over the course of the next few days and wants to minimize the total distance driven to visit all 6 cities. The distances between each pair of cities is given in the matrix below, and each city has been given a number between 0 and 5 for planning purposes. The motorist needs to start and finish in City O. The motorist has set up the problem as a "traveling salesperson problem" in Solver. The decision variables are in G48:G52 and the objective function is given in cell H54. Answer the following questions regarding this problem and its setup in Solver. Use relative addressing for ALL cell/range addresses. Do NOT use any absolute addressing. All cell addresses should be upper case (e.g., A6 NOT a6).

Enter the entire formula, including the equal sign. What is the formula in cell H54? Enter the entire formula, including the equal sign. What is the name of the function used in cell H52? Just give the function name with no equals sign, parentheses, or arguments. What is the first argument of the function used in cell H52? What is the third argument of the function used in cell H52?
