Use the following information for questions 1 through 6. The dietitian at a camp is planning breakfast for the first day of camp

. The dietitian has the responsibility of providing a menu that satisfies the minimum nutrient requirements at the lowest cost. Two types of foods are being considered for the breakfast: toast and sausage.A piece of toast contains 2 milligrams of vitamin A, 3 milligrams of vitamin B, and 2 milligram of iron. A sausage contains 4 milligrams of vitamin A, 1.5 milligrams of vitamin B, and 2 milligram of iron. The minimum breakfast requirements of these nutrient elements are estimated to be: Nutrient Requirement (mg) ----------------------------------------------- Vitamin A 20 Vitamin B 15 Iron 16 ----------------------------------------------- The American Medical Association has published an article which reported that having more than four sausages for breakfast is not recommended for young people. The dietitian considers this one of the most important constraints. The unit costs of the food are: toast, 4 cents; sausage, 8 cents. Formulate this problem as a linear programming problem , solve it by the software and answer the following questions. Question 1: How many variables are there in your LP model?

Answer:

Let x and y be the pieces of toast and sausage required.

Then the objective function is

Min Z=0.04x+0.08y

Constraints:

Vitamin A, 2x+4y≥20

Vitamin B, 3x+1.5y≥15

Iron, 2x+2y≥16

Sausage, y≤4

The non-negative constraints are x≥0, y≥0

Thus, the linear programming model is

Min Z=0.04x+0.08y

Subject to,

2x+4y≥20

3x+1.5y≥15

2x+2y≥16

y≤4

x≥0, y≥0

1) There are two variables in the LP model. So, option (B) is correct.

2) The LP model contains four constraints (excluding the non negative constraints). So, option (D) is correct.

3) Solving the LP model using a software, we get the solution as

z=0.4, at x=6 and y=2

So, The cost of the breakfast is $ 0.4. Option (B) is correct.

4) The breakfast should contains 6 toasts.

5) The amount of Vitamin B in the breakfast = 3(6)+1.5(2)=18+3=21 milligrams. So, option (C) is correct.

6) The amount of Iron in the breakfast= 2(6)+2(2)=12+4=16 milligrams. So, option (B) is correct.

Joey wants to build a rectangular garden. He plans to use a side of a river for one side of the garden, he will not place fencin
jonny [76]

We let x and y be the measures of the sides of the rectangular garden. The perimeter subtracted with the other side should be equal to 92.

<span>                                                       2x + y = 92</span>

The value of y in terms of x is equal to,

<span>                                            y = 92 – 2x</span>

The area is the product of the two sides,

<span>                                                                        A = xy</span>

Substituting,

<span>                                                            A = x (92 – 2x) = 92x – 2x2</span>

Solving for the derivative and equating to zero,

<span>                                                            0 = 92 – 4x  ; x = 23</span>

Therefore, the area of the garden is,

<span>                                                            A = 23(92 – 2(23)) = 1058 yard<span>2</span></span>

Use substitution to solve the system equation.<br><br><br> n=3m-11<br><br> 2m+3n=0
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

m = 3, n = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute n = 3m - 11 in the second equation:

2m + 3(3m - 11) = 0

2m + 9m - 33 = 0

11m = 33

m = 3.

Substitute for m in n = 3m-11:

n = 3(3) - 11

n = -2.
