Suppose that a factory manufactures only tables and chairs and that the profit on one chair is $15 and on the table is $20. Each

chair requires 1 large piece and 2 small pieces. Each table requires 2 large pieces and 2 small pieces (see Figure 1 below). Finally, suppose that you have only 6 large pieces and 8 small pieces. How many chairs and how many tables should you build to maximize profit? Write a system of equations using inequalities and constraints

Answer:

The data we have is:

Profit per chair = $15

Profit per table = $20

Chair needs: 1 large pice, 2 small pieces.

Table needs: 2 large pieces, 2 small pieces.

You have 6 large pieces and 8 small pieces, and you want to maximize the profit.

Let's define:

T = # of tables

C = # of chairs.

Total profit:

P = C*$15 + M*$20

The number of chairs that you can make is given by:

0 ≤ C ≤ 4

If you make 4 chairs, the profit is:

P = 4*$15 = $60

And there will be 2 large pieces left.

Now for the tables.

0 ≤ T ≤ 3

If you make 4 tables, the profit will be:

P = 3*$20 = $60 (same as before)

And there will be two small pieces left.

Then we want to use a medium number of tables and chairs, we can not use the maximum for any of those, the first thing we should try is:

we ideally would want to use all the pieces that we have.

8 small, 6 large:

Then we can make:

2 tables: we use 4 large pieces and 4 small pieces.

T = 2

And we have left 2 large pieces and 4 small pieces.

The leftover is enough to make two chairs.

C = 2.

In this case, where we used all our materials, the profit will be:

P = 2*$15 + 2*$20 = $30 + $40 = $70

The profit is maximized when we make 2 tables and two chairs.

Find the equation of the line that passes through points a and b
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

y - 7 = 2(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from (-3, -1) to (1, 7), x increases by 4 and y by 8.  These numbers are the 'run' and 'rise' of the line, respectively.  Thus, the slope of the red line is m = rise/run = m = 8/4 = 2.

Using the point-slope formula and the point (1, 7), we get:

y - 7 = 2(x - 1)

4 week it drop 3 feet what is the unit rate
grin007 [14]
<span>In 4 weeks, it dropped 3 feet in total.
The unit rate of this is 3 feet / 4 weeks
If we simplify this into days, this will be the solutions
=> 4 weeks has (4 * 7) 28 days in total, so we need to divide 3 feet by 28 days to get the simplified unit rate.
=> 3 feet / 28 days
=> .107 feet / day.
So the water drops .107 feet per day and in 4 weeks the total of 3 feet.</span>
