Two models of a product - Regular (X) and Deluxe (Y) - are produced by a company. A linear programming model is used to determin

e the production schedule. The formulation is as follows:
Maximize profit = 50X + 60Y


Subject to:


8X + 10Y=800 (labor hours)


X + Y=120 (total units demanded)


4X + 5Y =500 (raw materials)


all variables =0


The optimal solution is X = 100, Y = 0


How many units of the regular model would be produced based on this solution?


A. 0

B. 50

C. 100

D. 120

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

Maximum profit = 50X + 60Y

8X + 10Y ≤ 800 (labor hours)

X + Y ≤ 120 (total units demanded)

4X + 5Y ≤ 500 (raw materials)

All variables ≥ 0

Then we have

(i) 8X + 10Y ≤ 800

X = 0 or 100

Y = 80 or 0

(ii) X + Y ≤ 120

X = 0 or 120

Y = 120 or 0

(iii) 4X + 5Y ≤ 500

X = 0 or  125

Y = 100 or 0

from a chart of the above values we have in the most possible region, we have

Y intercept at X = 0 and Y = 80

Origin at  X = 0, Y = 0

X intercept at X = 100 and Y = 0

Therefore, to maximize profit we have z(50X + 60Y)

At Y intercept (0, 80) = 4800

At origin = 0

At X intercept (100, 0) = 5000

Therefore, the number of units of regular model, X for maximum profit should be 100.

Triangle ABC has vertices A(–2, 3), B(0, 3), and C(–1, –1). Find the coordinates of the image after a reflection over the x-axis
azamat
Since it's a reflection over the x axis, the x coordinates will stay the same while the y coordinates will be opposite of what they are. 

After reflected: A'(-2,-3), B'(0,-3), C'(-1,1)
