A craftsman builds two kinds of birdhouses, one for wrens and one for bluebirds. Each wren birdhouse takes 3 hours of labor and

4 units of lumber. Each bluebird house requires 2 hours of labor and 10 units of lumber. The craftsman has available 80 hours of labor and 100 units of lumber, and he wants to build at least 6 wren houses. Wren houses profit $8 each and bluebird houses profit $16 each. How many of each kind of birdhouses should be built in order to maximize total profit? Formulate this as a linear programming problem (i.e., DO NOT solve it.)

Answer:

Obj Function, Max P=8w+16b

Subject to the Constraints

3w+2l≤80

4w+10b≤100

w≥6

b>0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of Wren's birdhouse built=w

Let the number of bluebirds birdhouse built=b

Constraint:Labour

Each wren birdhouse takes 3 hours of labor.

Each bluebird house requires 2 hours of labor.

The craftsman has available 80 hours of labor

Formulated as an inequality:

3w+2l≤80

Constraint: Lumber

Each wren birdhouse requires 4 units of lumber.

Each bluebird birdhouse 10 units of lumber.

The craftsman has available 100 units of lumber

Formulated as an inequality:

4w+10b≤100

The craftsman wants to build at least 6 wren houses.

w≥6

Since he builds the two kinds of house, b>0 and w>0.

Objective Function

Wren houses profit $8 each and bluebird houses profit $16 each.

The Objective of the function is to make profit, so we maximize.

Obj Function, Max P=8w+16b

The linear programming problem is therefore stated below:

Obj Function, Max P=8w+16b

Subject to the Constraints

3w+2l≤80

4w+10b≤100

w≥6

b>0

Solve the following equation simultaneously 2a-3b+10=0, 10a+6b=8​
tia_tia [17]

2a -3b +10 =0\\\\10a+ 6b -8 =0\\\\\text{Using cross multiplication method}\\\\\\ \dfrac a{(-3)(-8)  - 6(10)} = \dfrac b{10(10) - 2(-8)} = \dfrac 1{ 2(6) - (-3)(10)}\\\\\\\implies  \dfrac a{24-60} = \dfrac b{100+16} = \dfrac 1{12+30}\\\\\\\\\implies -\dfrac {a}{36} = \dfrac b{116} = \dfrac 1{42}\\\\\\\text{Hence}\\\\a = - \dfrac{36}{42} = -\dfrac 67 \\\\\\ b= \dfrac{116}{42} = \dfrac{58}{21}

If f(x)=7-3x and g(x)=3x-7, what is the value of f(1)-g(1)?
postnew [5]
Substitute 1 for x in each of your equations.

f(x)=7-3x
which is
f(1)=7-3(1)
=3
Do the same for g(x)
g(x)=3x-7
which is
g(1)=3(1)-7
=-4

Then subtract g(x) from f(x):
3-(-4)
=7

Amber is solving this problem.
Serhud [2]

Correct choice is 1,260 and 151,200

The product of 252 and 605 is 152,460

In the choice we have to choose from, one or more numbers have to add up to give a total of 152,460.

The choice is actually 1,260 and 151,200 which gives a total of <u>152</u><u>,</u><u>460</u><u>.</u>
