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

Answer:

The upper bound for the perimeter of the rectangle = 427.76 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the upper bound for the perimeter, we need to first obtain the upper bound for the Length and Breadth of the rectangle.

Since, these dimensions were rounded to the nearest 1 decimal place, we can write down their ranges

Length = 127.3 cm

Width = 86.5 cm

Length can range from 127.25 cm to 127.34 cm

Breadth can range from 86.45 cm to 86.54 cm

The upper bound for the Length and Breadth of the rectangle are this 127.34 cm and 86.54 cm respectively.

Perimeter = 2 (L + B)

Upper bound of the perimeter

= 2 × (127.34 + 86.54)

= 2 × 213.88

= 427.76 cm

Hope this Helps!!!

A painter is painting a wall with an area of 150 ft2. He decides to paint half of the wall and then take a break. After his brea
Novosadov [1.4K]
The answer is 141.35 ft²

Before the first break, it was painted:
150 ft² ÷ 2 = 75 ft²
Now it's left:
150 ft² - 75 ft² = 75 <span>ft²

Before the second break, it was painted:
75 </span>ft² ÷ 2 = 37.5 <span>ft²
Now it's left:
75 </span>ft² - 37.5 ft² = 37.5 <span>ft²

Before the third break, it was painted:
37.5 </span>ft² ÷ 2 = 18.75 <span>ft²
</span><span>Now it's left:
</span>37.5 ft² - 18.75 ft² = 18.75 <span>ft²
</span>
<span>Before the fourth break, it was painted:
</span>18.75 ft² ÷ 2 = 9.375 <span>ft²
</span><span>Now it's left:
</span>18.75 ft² - 9.375 ft² = 9.375 <span>ft²
</span>
<span>Before the fourth break, it was painted:
</span>9.375 ft² ÷ 2 = 4.6875 <span>ft²
</span><span>Now it's left:
</span>9.375 ft² - 4.6875 ft² = 4.6875 ft²

Now, we will sum what he painted for now:
75 ft² + 37.5 ft² + 18.75 ft² + 9.375 ft² 4.6875 ft² = 141.3125 ft² ≈ 141.35 ft²

When the painter takes his fifth break, there will be <span>141.35 ft² of the wall painted.</span>
