An individual needs a daily supplement of at least 464 units of vitamin C and 252 of vitamin E and agrees to obtain this supplem

ent by eating two foods, I and II. Each ounce of food I contains 32 units of vitamin C and 9 units of vitamin E, while each ounce of food II contains 16 units of vitamin C and also 18 units of vitamin E. The total supplement of these two foods must be at most 35 ounces. Unfortunately, food I contains 48 units of cholesterol per ounce and food II contains 25 units of cholesterol per ounce. Find the appropriate amounts of the two food supplements so that cholesterol is minimized. Find the minimum amount of cholesterol.

Answer:

z (min)  = 705

x₁  = 10

x₂  = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call  x₁  quantity of food I ( in ou )  and x₂ quantity of food II ( in ou)

          units of vit. C   units of vit.E   Cholesterol by ou

x₁                 32                      9                         48

x₂                16                      18                          25

Objective function z

z  =   48*x₁   +  25*x₂        To minimize

Subject to:

1.-Total units of vit. C at least  464

32*x₁   +  16*x₂     ≥   464

2.- Total units of vit. E at least  252

9*x₁  + 18*x₂   ≥  252

3.- Quantity of ou per day

x₁   +   x₂   ≤  35

General constraints    x₁  ≥ 0    x₂   ≥ 0

Using the on-line simplex method solver (AtoZmaths) and after three iterations the solution is:

z (min)  = 705

x₁  = 10

x₂  = 9

Vernon's work for finding the value of x is shown below. Lines A C and B D intersect at point E. Angle A E D is (16 x + 8) degre
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

<em>No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

If line AC and BD intersects, then m<AED + m<DEC = 180 (sum of angle on a straight line is 180 degrees)

Given

m<AED = 16x+8

m<DEC = 76 degrees

16x + 8 + 76 = 180

16x + 84 = 180

16x = 180-84

16x = 96

x = 96/16

x = 6

Hence the value of x is 6

Hence the correct option is <em>No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other</em>

In testing the lethal concentration of a chemical found in polluted water. it is found that a certain concentration will kill 20
sasho [114]

Answer:

a) 0.1091

b) 0.9994

c) 0.5886

Step-by-step explanation:

X = the number of fish out of 20 that die after 24 hours

x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 20

X~ Binomial (n= 20, p =0.20)

P(14 survive) = P(X = 6)

= nC_r p^r q^{n-r}= 20C_6 0.2^6\times0.8^{14}=0.1091

Similarly we can find out

P(at least 10 survive) = P( X <= 10 ) = (Using technology) = 0.9994

P(at most 16 will survive) = P(X <= 16) = (Using technology) = 0.5886
