A marketing research firm would like to survey undergraduate and graduate college students about whether or not they take out st

udent loans for their education. There are different cost implications for the region of the country where the college is located and the type of degree. The survey cost table is provided below:
Student type
Region undergraduate graduate
East $10 $15
Central $12 $18
West $15 $21
The requirements for the survey are as follows:
The survey must have at least 1500 students
At least 400 graduate students
At least 100 graduate students should be from the West
No more than 500 undergraduate students should be from the East
At least 75 graduate students should be from the Central region
At least 300 students should be from the West
The marketing research firm would like to minimize the cost of the survey while meeting the requirements. Let X1 = # of undergraduate students from the East region, X2 = # of graduate students from the East region, X3 = # of undergraduate students from the Central region, X4 = # of graduate students from the Central region, X5 = # of undergraduate students from the West region, and X6 = # of graduate students from the West region.
Clearly state the problem (objective function, constraints)

Answer:

Objective Minimize 10x1 +15x2 + 12x3+18x4+15x5+ 21x6

The central total cost $ 17586 due to the number of central undergraduate students 1458 is very high.

The total minimum cost would $ 17586 +$260+ $300= $ 18146

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

X1 = # of undergraduate students from the East region,

X2 = # of graduate students from the East region,

X3 = # of undergraduate students from the Central region,

X4 = # of graduate students from the Central region,

X5 = # of undergraduate students from the West region, and

X6 = # of graduate students from the West region.

Then  the cost functions are

y1= 10x1 +15x2

y2= 12x3+18x4

y3= 15x5+ 21x6

According to the given conditions

The constraints are

x1 +x2 + x3+x4+ x5+ x6 ≥ 1500------- A

15X2 +18X4+21X6 ≥ 400---------B

21X6 ≥ 100

X6 ≥ 100/21

X6 ≥ 4.76

Taking

X6= 5

10X1 ≤ 500

X1 ≤ 500/10

X1≤ 5

18X4 ≥ 75

X4 ≥ 75/18

X4 ≥ 4.167

Taking

X4= 5

Putting the values

15X5+ 21X6 ≥ 300

15X5+ 21(5) ≥ 300

15X5+ 105 ≥ 300

15X5 ≥ 300-105

15X5 ≥ 195

X5 ≥ 195/15

X5 ≥ 13

Putting value of X6 and X4 in B

15X2 +18X4+21X6 ≥ 400

15X2 +18(5)+21(5) ≥ 400

15X2 +195 ≥ 400

15X2  ≥ 400-195

15X2  ≥ 205

X2  ≥ 205/15

X2  ≥ 13.67

Taking X2= 14

Now putting the values in the cost equations to check whether the conditions are satisfied.

y1= 10x1 +15x2

y1= 10 (5) + 15(14)= 50 + 210= $ 260

y3= 15x5+ 21x6

y3= 15 (13) + 21(5)

y3= 195+105= $ 300

x1 +x2 + x3+x4+ x5+ x6 ≥ 1500

5+14+x3+5+13+5≥ 1500

x3≥ 1500-42

x3≥ 1458

y2= 12x3+18x4

y2= 12 (1458)  + 18 (5)

y2= 17496 +90

y2= $ 17586

The cost can be minimized if the number of students from

                                 Undergraduate         Graduate

East Region              X1≤ 5                            X2  ≥ 13.67

Central                      X3≥ 1458                   X4 ≥ 4.167

West                          X5 ≥ 13                          X6 ≥ 4.76

This will result in the required number of students that is 1500

Constraints:

East Undergraduate must not be greater than 5

East Graduate must not be less than 13

Central Undergraduate must  be greater than 1458

Central Graduate must  be greater than 4

West Undergraduate must  be greater than 13

West Graduate must  be greater than 4

The central total cost $ 17586 due to the number of central undergraduate students 1458 is very high.

The east region has a least cost of $260 and west region has a cost of $300.

The total minimum cost would $ 17586 +$260+ $300= $ 18146

FACTOR the expression 6x+3y-12 using the greatest common multiple.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For 6x+3y-12 the greatest common factor is 3 so

3(2x+y-4)

For -2+6x+4+4x

10x+2 and 2 is greatest common factor so

2(5x+1)

SCUBA diving set
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Snorkel, mask, and flippers Slope: 2 (so in the equation, it would look like 2x).

Snorkel, mask, and flippers Y-intercept: 10 (12 - 2 = 10, which is 0 hours, possibly the initial amount)

Snorkel, mask, and flippers Slope intercept form: y = 2x + 10

What is x in this equation 2-3/4x=11
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

x=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

2-3/4x=11

3/4x=2-11

3/4x=-9

x=-9/(3/4)

x=(-9/1)(4/3)

x=-36/3

x=-12
