Answer:
A. -12
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph shows the vertices of the feasible region to be (0, 6), (3, 0) and (0, -3). Of these, the one that minimizes f(x, y) is (0, -3). The minimum value is ...
f(0, -3) = 3·0 + 4(-3) = -12
_____
<em>Comment on the graph</em>
Here, three regions overlap to form the region where solutions are feasible. By reversing the inequality in each of the constraints, <em>the feasible region shows up on the graph as a white space</em>, making it easier to identify. The corner of the feasible region that minimizes the objective function is the one at the bottom, at (0, -3).
Answer:
The store should use 112.5 pounds of Brazilian coffee and 37.5 pounds of Colombian cofee.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "b" be the amount of Brazilian coffee, in pounds, required for the blend and "c" the amount of Colombian coffee required, in pounds.
Since there are two unknown variables a two-equation system is needed to solve the problem, we can set up one equation for weight and another for price as follows:
Solve for "c" by multiplying the first equation by -10 and adding it to the second one:
Now, solve for b by replacing the value obtained into the first equation
The store should use 112.5 pounds of Brazilian coffee and 37.5 pounds of Colombian cofee.
