A biologist wishes to feed laboratory rabbits a mixture of two types of foods. Type 1 contains 8g of fat, 12g of carbs, and 2g o

f protein per ounce. Type 2 contains 12g of fat, 12g of carbs, and 1g of protein per ounce. Type 1 costs $0.20 per ounce and Type 2 costs $0.30 per ounce. The rabbits each receive a daily minimum of 24g of fat, 36g of carbs, and 4g of protein, but get no more than 5 oz. of food per day. If each food type must be fed, how many ounces of each food type should be given to satisfy the dietary requirements at a minimum cost? (HINT: There are 4 constraints.)

Answer:

we have minimize cost by feeding the rabbits 3 ounces  of feed 1 and 0 ounces of feed 2.

Explanation:

let x be the ounces of feed 1

let y be the ounces of feed 2

according to the information we have following inequalities  

Fat grams:8x + 12y \geq 24

Carb grams: 12x + 12y \geq 36

                      x + y \leq 3

Protein grams: 2x + y \geq 4

Total food: x + y \leq 5

for cost we have

C = 0.20x + 0.30y

Thus, we have the limitation of:

5 \geq x + y \geq 3

plotting all inequalities we have found pentagon with following points

(0,5)

C = 0.20(0) + 0.30(5) = 1.50

(0,4)

C = 0.20(0) + 0.30(4) = 1.20

(1,2)

C = 0.20(1) + 0.30(2) = 0.80

(3,0)

C = 0.20(3) + 0.30(0) = 0.60

(5,0)

C = 0.20(5) + 0.30(0) = 1.00

Thus, we have minimize cost by feeding the rabbits 3 ounces  of feed 1 and 0 ounces of feed 2.

Hi

Some tips for training for a marathon, for example could be running approximately 5 kilometers, to reach the end of a half marathon you need a more advanced physical and mental capacity that will only be achieved with constant training. To be prepared and endure it is necessary dedication and constant work for at least 5 weeks. We could start with a short series of training, for example distances not greater than 400 meters, this will help to influence the technique, also the strength. If we dedicate this type of training one day a week, we improve the speed and pace of the race. Another type of training is the background. This type of training aims to run a greater distance or more time than in the rest of your workouts of the week. It is not necessary that they be over the distance of competition but they do approach that one and its frequency must be weekly or every 6 days of training.

The only energy-rich connection that our muscle can have immediate form for a contraction is a substance called ATP, whose decomposition into ADP and phosphorus generates the energy needed to perform the movement. Since we do not have many molecules of this ATP in muscle, it is necessary to continuously generate this element to get the necessary chemical energy and therefore the subsequent mechanical energy. The ways to obtain this energy in training is through two ways: aerobic and anaerobic. In the first one there is a sufficient amount of oxygen for the oxidation of glycogen and fatty acids. In anaerobic oxygen supply is insufficient for oxidation, due to a high load intensity, and therefore the energy is obtained anaerobically, that is, without the presence of oxygen.
