You would like to make a nutritious meal of eggs, edamame, and elbow macaroni. The meal should provide at least 40 g of carbohyd

rates, at least 20 g of protein, and no more than 50 g of fat. An egg (one serving) contains 2g of carbohydrates, 17 g of protein, and 14 g of fat. A serving of edamame contains 12 g of carbohydrates, 12 g of protein, and 6 g of fat. A serving of elbow macaroni contains 43 g of carbohydrates, 8 g of protein, and 1 g of fat. An egg costs $2, a serving of edamame costs $ 5, and a serving of elbow macaroni costs $3. Formulate a linear optimization model that could be used to determine the number of servings of egg, edamame, and elbow macaroni that should be in the meal in order to meet the nutrition requirements at minimal cost. (You don't need to find the optimal solution to the model you formulate.)

Answer:

Lets denote

1. eggs as x,

2. edamame as y

3. elbow macaroni as z

The problem then is

min TC=2x+5y+3z

subject to

2x+12y+43z \geq40\\17x+12y+8z\geq20\\14x+6y+z\leq50\\x\geq0\\y\geq0\\z\geq0

Step-by-step explanation:

First the objective is to minimize total cost subject to some nutritional requirements.

So the total cost function (TC) is the number of servings multiplied for the corresponding costs. Eggs cost 2, edamame 5, and macaroni 3

Next we have to meet the nutritional requirements, the first of the restrictions is the protein restriction. The problem requires that the meal contains at least 40g of carbohydrates (that is why the restriction is \geq 40). Then we add how much each meal component adds to the total, eggs add 2g of carbs, edamame 12g, and macaroni 43g.

Same for protein, we need at least 20 grams of protein (\geq 20). Eggs add 17g, edamame adds 12g, and macaroni adds 8g.

Finally we don't want more than 50 grams of fat (\leq50). Eggs add 14g, edamame add 6g and macaroni 1g.

Finally, we add the non negativity restrictions-> we cannot buy negative quantities of these goods, but we allow for zero.

National polls are often conducted by asking the opinions of a few thousand adults nationwide and using them to infer the opinio
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Sample: few thousand adults

Population: all the adults

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample is a subset of the population, selected randomly.

In this case:

The sample consist of the few thousand adults selected to determine the opinions about the National polls.

The population consist of all the adults belonging to the said nation.

Consider an example about the new President election.

To determine which of the two candidates (say <em>A</em> and <em>B</em>) has a higher probability of winning the President election, the election society took a random sample of voters and asked who they think will be a better president.

The sample selected will be large enough, probably 10% of the population of all voters.

From this study it can be estimated which candidate has the higher chance of winning.

Which does NOT represent an obtuse angle
Darya [45]
Hey there!

An obtuse angle is defined as an angle that is wider than 90° but less than 180°. For example, a 68° would not be considered obtuse, but a 107° would. As long as the degree is between 90 and 180, the angle is obtuse. Any other angle (either between 0 and 90 OR 180 and 360) is not obtuse. 

You can use this information to answer the question based on the angles you have been given. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
