Quadratic formula since this trinomial is not factorable.
Answer:
Runner Up Amount=$16,000
Winner Amount=$64,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of the college's scholarship=$80,000
The fund is being divided between the top two contestants so that the winner receives four times as much as the runner-up.
Therefore: we can say it is being divided into 5 parts where the winner gets 4 parts and the runner up gets 1 part, i.e in the ratio 4:1.
Runner Up Amount
Winner Amount
The winner gets $64,000 and the runner up gets $16,000.
The second constraint is the same as the objective function, so your problem boils down to finding integer solutions to
.. 3x1 +5x2 = 36
There are 3 solutions. They are (x1, x2) = (12, 0), (7, 3), (2, 6)
The value of the objective function there is (obviously) 36.
