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.

Why do children require more wellness is it then adults do
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:Over the past 30 years, the idea of a “wellness visit” for children, adolescents and young adults has evolved significantly because of changing views on health prevention, immunization protection and antibiotic therapies, and childhood development.

There was a newfound focus on the importance of childhood development and parenting in helping produce physically and emotionally healthy adults. In 1990, the American Academy of Pediatrics began to enshrine the issues that should be discussed at each “wellness visit” from birth to age 21 years in its Bright Futures initiative. The fourth edition, released in 2017, has becom
