An important application of systems of equations arises in connection with supply and demand. As the price of a product increases, the demand for that product decreases. However, at higher prices, suppliers are willing to produce greater quantities of the product. Exercises 97–98 involve supply and demand. 97. A chain of electronics stores sells hand-held color televisions. The weekly demand and supply models are given as follows: Number sold Demand model per week N = -5p + 750 Price of television Number supplied to the chain per week N = 2.5p. 1apow hjddns a. How many hand-held color televisions can be sold and supplied at $120 per television? b. Find the price at which supply and demand are equal. At this price, how many televisions can be supplied and sold each week?

← A dietician is planning a snack package of fruit and nuts. Each ounce of fruit will supply zero units of protein, 3 units of carbohydrates, and 2 units of fat, and will contain 40 calories. Each ounce of nuts will supply 3 units of protein, 1 unit of carbohydrate, and 4 units of fat, and will contain 50 calories. Every package must provide at least 6 units of protein, at least 8 units of carbohydrates, and no more than 16 units of fat. Find the number of ounces of fruit and number of ounces of nuts that will meet the requirement with the least number of calories. What is the least number of calories? Let x be the ounces of fruit and y be the ounces of nuts. What is the objective function that must by minimized? z- 40 x+ 50 y The dietician should use ounce(s) of fruit and ounce(s) of nuts. These amounts will have a total of calories (Type whole numbers.)

ONLY ANSWER B3!!! The inventory manager at a warehouse distributor wants to predict inventory cost (Cost in $) based on order quantity (Quantity in units). She thinks it may be a nonlinear relationship because its two primary components move in opposite directions: (1) order processing cost (costs of procurement personnel, shipping, transportation), which decreases as order quantity increases (due to fewer orders needed), and (2) holding cost (costs of capital, facility, warehouse personnel, equipment), which increases as order quantity increases (due to more inventory held). She has collected monthly inventory costs and order quantities for the past 36 months. A portion of the data is shown in the accompanying table. Cost Quantity 54.4 844 52.1 503 60.2 300 53.8 869 51.7 525 57.1 1030 61.1 288 49.8 577 53.9 490 48.2 588 47.5 606 57.4 325 59.6 1160 58.2 1072 58.7 308 58.1 1140 48.4 627 63.4 214 62.5 207 62.5 1174 62.7 1190 61.2 1166…
