The maximum value of the objective function is 330
<h3>How to maximize the objective function?</h3>The given parameters are:
Max w = 5y₁ + 3y₂
Subject to
y₁ + y₂ ≤ 50
2y₁ + 3y₂ ≤ 60
y₁ , y₂ ≥ 0
Start by plotting the graph of the constraints (see attachment)
From the attached graph, we have:
(y₁ , y₂) = (90, -40)
Substitute (y₁ , y₂) = (90, -40) in w = 5y₁ + 3y₂
w = 5 * 90 - 3 * 40
Evaluate
w = 330
Hence, the maximum value of the function is 330

Answer:
<em>Here is the complete question:</em>
The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue farm. for each of the following statements, explain whether statements is true or false and why:
a. The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.
b. 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.
c. There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.
d. There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.
e. 5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.
a,c and e are true statements.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dogs be "d' and number of cats be "c".
According to the question:
⇒ ...equation (i)
Arranging the ratio:
⇒
⇒
⇒ ...equation (ii)
Plugging (ii) in equation (i).
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
Number of dogs "d" = 120
Number of cats "c" = (270-120) = 150
Lets check each statement:
a.
The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.
⇒
⇒
⇒
Statement is true.
b.
4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.
⇒
⇒
Number of dogs = 120
So the above statement is false.
c.
There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.
⇒
⇒
Statement is true.
d.
There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.
False, as there are 120 dogs
e.
5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.
⇒
⇒
Statement is true.
So,
Statement a,c and e are true as we could observe in the explanation.
