The following is a linear programming formulation of a labor planning problem. There are four overlapping shifts, and management

must decide how many employees to schedule to start work on each shift. The objective is to minimize the total number of employees required while the constraints stipulate how many employees are required at each time of day. The variables X1 - X4 represent the number of employees starting work on each shift (shift 1 through shift 4).
MIN X1 + X2 + X3 + X4

s.t. X1 + X4 ≥ 12 ........(on duty during shift 1)
X1 + X2 ≥ 15 ........(on duty during shift 2)
X2 + X3 ≥ 16 ........(on duty during shift 3)
X3 + X4 ≥ 14 ........(on duty during shift 4)
X1, X2, X3, and X4 ≥ 0

Given the optimal solution: X1* = 13, X2* = 2, X3* = 14, X4* = 0, how many workers would be assigned to shift 2?

a. 13
b. 12
c. 14
d. 15
e. 2

Answer:

d. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting the values in the shift 2 function

X1 + X2 ≥ 15

where x1=  13, and x2=2

13+12≥ 15

15≥ 15

At least 15 workers must be assigned to the shift 2.

The LP model questions require that the constraints are satisfied.

The constraint for the shift 2 is that the  number of workers must be equal or greater than 15

This can be solved using other constraint functions e.g

Putting  X4= 0 in

X1 + X4 ≥ 12

gives

X1 ≥ 12

Now Putting the value X1 ≥ 12  in shift 2 constraint

X1 + X2 ≥ 15

12+ 2≥ 15

14 ≥ 15

this does not satisfy the condition so this is wrong.

Now from

X2 + X3 ≥ 16

Putting X3= 14

X2 + 14 ≥ 16

gives

X2  ≥ 2

Putting these in the shift 2

X1 + X2 ≥ 15

13+2 ≥ 15

15 ≥ 15

Which gives the same result as above.

I need help with problem
pychu [463]

Answer:

f(x)=4x(x-3)

Vertex=3/2, -9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, factorize it.

That is equal to 4x(x-3)

Therefore, x intercepts are 0 and 3, as  at least one of them need to be 0.

To find the vertex, first find the x of the vertex, which you can do by finding the average of the x intercepts, so it will be 3/2

Then, find the y, by making x in the original equation equal 3/2. This will give us -9 as the y.

The vertex will by 3/2, -9

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br><br> °
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

x = 127 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles is (n-2)180, so in this case it would be

(6-2)180

(4)180

720

Then you can substitute the given angle measurements to get the equation:

112+133+128+100+120+x = 720

593+x = 720

x = 127
