Formulate the situation as a linear programming problem by identifying the variables, the objective function, and the constraint
s. Be sure to state clearly the meaning of each variable. Determine whether a solution exists, and if it does, find it. State your final answer in terms of the original question. A rancher raises goats and llamas on his 400-acre ranch. Each goat needs 2 acres of land and requires $100 of veterinary care per year, and each llama needs 5 acres of land and requires $80 of veterinary care per year. The rancher can afford no more than $13,200 for veterinary care this year. If the expected profit is $84 for each goat and $126 for each llama, how many of each animal should he raise to obtain the greatest possible profit? The rancher should raise goats and llamas for a maximum profit of $________
1 answer:
Answer:
zero goats and 120 Ilamas to get profit of $15,120
Step-by-step explanation:
Goats: G
Ilamas: l
Explicit constraints:
2G + 5l ≤ 400
100G+ 80l≤ 13,200
Implicit constraints
G≥0
I≥0
P= 84G+ 126l
See attachment for optimal area
substituting coordinats of optimal region in profit equation to get profit
When G= 132, l=0
P=84(132) + 126(0)
P=11,088
When G=0, l=120
P=84(0)+ 126(120)
P = 15120
When G= 100, l=40
P=84(100)+126(40)
P=13440

We need to find the base x in the following equation:
First, lets convert 365 from base 7 to base 10. This is given by
where the upperindex denotes the position of eah number. This gives
that is, 365 based 7 is equal to 194 bases 10.
Now, lets do the same for 43 based x. Lets convert 43 based x to base 10:
where again, the superindex 0 and 1 denote the position 0 and 1 in the number 43. This gives
Now, we have all number in base 10. Then, our first equation can be written in base 10 as
For simplicity, we can omit the 10 and get
so, we can solve this equation for x. By combining similar terms. we have
and by moving 197 to the right hand side, we obtain
Finally, we get
Therefore, the solution is x=5
