Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of trays of corn muffins and y be the number of trays of bran muffins.

He makes $3.00 profit per tray of corn muffins and $2.00 profit per tray of bran muffins.

Objective function: Z=3x+2y

According to the the given information:

                      Corn muffins     Bran muffins                Total    

Milk                         4                        2                            16

Wheat flour            3                         3                            15

Subject to the constraints are

4x+2y\leq 16

3x+3y\leq 15

x\geq 0,y\geq 0

Draw the graph of above qualities as shown below.

The vertices of feasible region are (0,0), (0,5), (3,2) and (4,0).

Point         Z=3x+2y

(0,0)                0

(0,5)                10

(3,2)                13

(4,0)                12

The profit is maximum at x=3 and y=2.

3 trays of corn muffins and 2 trays of bran muffins.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

1/2x-9=-25 what is your answer
Elodia [21]
First, let's only the expression with x stay on the let side: let's add 9 to both sides of the equation.

\frac{1}{2} x-9+9=-25+9
which is
\frac{1}{2}x=-16


now, let's multiply everything by 2:

\frac{2}{2} x=-16*2
x=-32


so the answer is -32!

louise bought 80 metres of fencing to make an enclosure for her pet dog .tommy if louise expects a rectangular enclosure what is
OleMash [197]

Answer:

400 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest  area is obtained where the enclosure is a square.

I think that's the right answer because a square is a special form of a rectangle.

So the square would be 20 * 20  = 400 m^2.

Proof:

Let the  sides of the rectangle be x and y m long

The area A = xy.

Also the perimeter  2x + 2y = 80

x + y = 40

y = 40 - x.

So substituting for y in A = xy:-

A = x(40 - x)

A = 40x - x^2

For maximum value of A  we find the derivative and equate it to 0:

derivative A' =  40 - 2x = 0

2x = 40

x = 20.

So y = 40 - x

= 40 - 20

=20  

x and y are the same value so x = y.

Therefore for maximum area the rectangle is a square.
