lb of dough. It take bakers 6 minutes to make a half-dozen of waffles and 3 minutes to make a half-dozen of muffins. Their profit will be $1.50 on each pack of waffles and $2.00 on each pack of muffins. How many of each should they make to maximize profit, if they have just 20 hours to do everything?

Answer:

250 batches of muffins and 0 waffles.

Step-by-step explanation:

-1

If we denote the number of batches of muffins as "a" and the number of batches of waffles as "b," we are then supposed to maximize the profit function

P = 2a + 1.5b

subject to the following constraints: a>=0, b>=0, a + (3/4)b <= 250, and 3a + 6b <= 1200. The third constraint can be rewritten as 4a + 3b <= 1000.

Use the simplex method on these coefficients, and you should find the maximum profit to be $500 when a = 250 and b = 0. So, make 250 batches of muffins, no waffles.

You use up all the dough, have 450 minutes left, and have $500 profit, the maximum amount.

Find the value of x and y​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

x = 1

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(pi) = -1

so many ways :

sqrt(0.5/2) = sqrt(0.5/2 × 8/8) = sqrt(4/16)

= sqrt(0.5/2 × 18/18) = sqrt(9/36)

= sqrt(1/4) = 1/2

"nicest" approach (all integers) :

3x² = sqrt(9)

3x² = 3

x² = 3/3 = 1

x = 1

2y = sqrt(36)

2y = 6

y = 6/2 = 3

one of them has to be negative (because cos(pi) = -1), so it has to be y, because 3x² cannot be negative with real numbers.

so, y = -3

-1 × 3×1²/(2×-3) = sqrt(0.5/2) = 1/2

-1 × 3/-6 = 1/2

3/6 = 1/2

1/2 = 1/2

correct
