Andrew should make 6 bookcase and 12 tv stand to maximize his profut $1560.

Given that 18 pieces of furniture is made and the materials for each bookcase cost him $20.00 and the materials for each TV stand cost him $40.00 and he has $600.00 to spend on materials. He makes a profit of $60.00 on each bookcase and a profit of $100.00 for each TV stand.

Let x represent the number of book case and let y represent number of tv stand.

Total number of book case and total number of tv stand is x+y≤18     ......(1)

Total amount of book case and total amount of tv stand is 20x+40y≤600   ......(2)

minimum amount of book case is x≥0 and minimum amount of tv stand is y≥0.

Now, solve the inequality (1) by converting it into equality and substituting x=0 and y=0, we get

x+y=18

When x=0 then

0+y=18

y=18

When y=0 then

x+0=18

x=18

Now, solve the inequality (2) by converting it into equality and substituting x=0 and y=0, we get

20x+40y=600

When x=0 then

20(0)+40y=600

40y=600

y=15

when y=0 then

20x+40(0)=600

20x=600

x=30

Further, we will grph the inequalities and we get feasible region and taking boundary point from graph.

From the graph the vertices of the feasible region is (0,0),(6,12),(0,15) and (18,0)

Further, we will find the maximization profit for the equation Z=60x+100y

When (x,y)=(0,0) then

Z=60(0)+100(0)

Z=0

When (x,y)=(6,12) then

Z=60(6)+12(100)

Z=360+1200

Z=1560

When (x,y)=(0,15) then

Z=60(0)+12(15)

Z=0+1500

Z=1500

When (x,y)=(18,0) then

Z=60(18)+100(0)

Z=1080

Hence, maximum profit is $1560 when andrew should build 6 bookcase and 12 tv stand.

“a railroad bridge spans a gorge 40 feet wide and connects two cliffs at heights of 98 and 158 feet above the bottom of the gorg
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Height above the bottom gorge is 113 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the gorge = 40 feet

The height of the higher cliff = 158 feet

The height of the lower cliff = 98 feet

The length of the bridge = √((158-98)² + 40²) = 72.11 feet

The slope of the bridge = (158-98)/40 = 1.5

The length of 1/4 of the bridge from the lower cliff =72.11 - 3/4×72.11 = 18.03 feet

The angle of inclination of the bridge = tan⁻¹(1.5) = 56.31°

The height above the bottom at 3/4 from the higher cliff = The height above the bottom at 1/4 from the lower cliff = 98+ 18.03×sin(56.31 ) = 113 feet

Which can also be found directly from the heights of the two cliffs knowing that 3/4 from the higher cliff = 1/4 from the lower cliff giving;

Height above the bottom gorge = 98 + 1/4×(158 - 98) = 113 feet.
