Food and clothing are shipped to victims of a natural disaster. Each carton of food will feed 13 ​people, while each carton of c

lothing will help 6 people. Each 20​-cubic-foot box of food weighs 40 pounds and each 5​-cubic-foot box of clothing weighs 25 pounds. The commercial carriers transporting food and clothing are bound by the following​ constraints:- The total weight per carrier cannot exceed 21 000 pounds.- The total volume must be no more than 7000 cubic feet.How many cartons of food and clothing should be sent with each plane shipment to maximize the number of people who can be helped?

Answer:

  233 cartons of food; 467 cartons of clothing

Step-by-step explanation:

This linear programming problem can be formulated as two inequalities (in addition to the usual constraints that the variables be non-negative). One of these expresses the constraint on weight. Let f and c represent numbers of food and clothing containers, respectively.

  40f +25c ≤ 21000

The other expresses the limit on volume.

  20f + 5c ≤ 7000

_____

<u>Feasible Region vertex</u>

We can subtract the boundary line equation of the first inequality from that of 5 times the second to find f:

  5(20f +5c) -(40f +25c) = 5(7000) -21000

  60f = 14000

  f = 233 1/3

The second boundary line equation can be rearranged to find c:

  c = 1400 -4f = 466 2/3

The nearest integer numbers to these values are ...

  (f, c) = (233, 467)

The other vertices of the feasible region are associated with one or the other variable being zero: (f, c) = (0, 840) or (350, 0).

<u>Check of Integer Solution</u>

Trying these in the constraint inequalities gives ...

  • 40·233 +25·467 = 20,995 < 21000
  • 20·233 +5·467 = 6995 < 7000

<u>Selection of the Answer</u>

The answer to the question will be the feasible region vertex that maximizes the number of people helped. That is, we want to maximize ...

  p = 13f + 6c

The values of p at the vertices are ...

  p = 13·233 + 6·467 = 5831

  p = 13·0 + 6·840 = 5040

  p = 13·350 + 6·0 = 2100

The most people are helped when the plane is filled with 233 food cartons and 467 clothing cartons.

What is the maximum amount of baggage that may be loaded aboard the airplane for the cg to remain within the moment envelope? we
Korvikt [17]
<span>You are to find the maximum amount of baggage that may be loaded aboard the airplane for the cg (center of gravity) to remain within the moment envelope.

In order to solve this, there is a graph that shows the load weight and the load moment of pilot and front passenger, fuel, rear passenger and passenger including the baggage. Using the given data such as pilot and front passenger 250, the load moment is 9 lbs/in, for the rear passenger at 400lbs, the load moment is 28.5 lbs/in, the fuel at 30 gal has a load moment of 2 lbs/in and oil at 8 quarters is 15 lbs. The total weight is 1,350 + 250 + 400 + 15 is 2015 lbs.</span>

What is the factorization of the polynomial below?<br> 5x2 - 35x + 60
natita [175]

Answer:

5(x-3)(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x^2-35x+60

Start by factoring out a 5:

5(x^2-7x+12)

We need to find two integers that have a product of 12, and a sum of -7:

(-3)(-4)=12

-3-4=-7

We can split -7x into -3x and -4x

5(x^2-3x-4x+12)

Factor each half separately:

5[x(x-3)-4(x-3)]

Since x and -4 are both being multiplied by x-3, we can combine them:

5(x-3)(x-4)
