A farmer has a 40-acre farm in Georgia. The farmer is trying to determine how many acres of corn, peanuts, and cotton to plant.

Each crop requires labor, fertilizer, and insecticide. The farmer has developed the following linear programming model to determine the number of acres of corn (X1), peanuts (X2), and cotton (X3) to plant in order to maximize profit. Max 550 X1 350 X2 450 X3 s.t. Constraint 1: 2 X1 3 X2 2 X3

Answer:

z (max) =  17461.54  $

x₁   =  29.23 acres

x₂  =  0

x₃  =  3.07

Step-by-step explanation: INCOMPLETE QUESTION.

As the problem statement establishes:  "Each crop requires labor, fertilizer, and insecticide"  and information about quantities and availability does not exist. To build a model and that such model would be feasible I copy from the internet the following data. We assume the problem is to maximize the number of acres to plant with a maximum of profit ( we will use as profit the numbers 550  ;  350 ; 450 for  acres of corn, peanuts, and cotton)

Then z =  550*x₁  +  350*x₂  +  450*x₃    to maximize

                                            labor (h)      fertilizer ( tn)    Insecticide (Tn)

acres of corn         (x₁)               2                     4                        3

acres of peanut     (x₂)              3                     3                        2

acres of cotton      (x₃)              2                     1                         4

Availability         acres 40       120                120                      100

Constraints:

1) Size of the farm 120 acres

x₁  +  x₂   +   x₃   ≤   40

2) labor   120 h

2*x₁  +  3*x₂  +  2*x₃    ≤   120

3) Fertilizer  120 Tn

4*x₁  +  3*x₂  +  1*x₃      ≤   120

4) Insecticide 100 Tn

3*x₁   +  2*x₂  +  4*x₃     ≤  100

The Model is:

z =  550*x₁  +  350*x₂  +  450*x₃    to maximize

Subject to:

x₁  +  x₂   +   x₃   ≤   40

2*x₁  +  3*x₂  +  2*x₃    ≤   120

4*x₁  +  3*x₂  +  1*x₃      ≤   120

3*x₁   +  2*x₂  +  4*x₃     ≤  100

x₁    ≥   0  ;   x₂   ≥   0  ;   x₃   ≥   0

After 3 iterations using an on-line solver optimal solution is:

z (max) =  17461.54  $

x₁   =  29.23 acres

x₂  =  0

x₃  =  3.07

ILL GIVE BRAINLEST, find the value of x.
yarga [219]

Answer:

x⁰ = 45⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given that the 2 sides of a triangle are equal, then it is an isosceles triangle.

Now, by applying the Triangle Sum Property,

x⁰ + 90⁰ + 45⁰ = 180⁰

x⁰ = 180⁰ - 135⁰

x⁰ = 45⁰

A clock face a circumference of 166 cm. what is the diameter
Ratling [72]

Answer: Approximately 52.87 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference is diameter times pie to divide the circumference  by pie.

166/3.14    use 3.14 as an approximation for pie.

166/3.14 = 52.87  rounded to the nearest hundredth

I need help please this is confusing
kap26 [50]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula when it's perpendicular : m1 × m = -1

Now Differentiate the quadratic function given.

d/dx ( x^2 - x + 1 ) at an x value of -1 from the point "(-1 , 3 )"

= 2x - 1 .... plug in the x value

= 2 × -1 - 1 = -3.

Use this equation...

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = slope = derivative at x = -1

y1 = value found by subbing -1 into the original function

x1 = the x value often given.

y - 3 = 1/3 (x + 1)

= 1/3x + 1/3 + 3

y = 1/3x + 10/3.

not sure about this one - it probably intersects at the x & y intercepts of the equation of the normal line.

y = 0 + 10/3 = 10/3

1/3x = 0 - 10/3

x = -10/3 / 1/3 = -10

so the point .... (-10 , 10/3)
