Question

1) The Sanders Garden Shop sells two types of grass seeds. Each type of grass seed needs different resources (per pound) as shown in table. Type Basic seeds provides a profit of $3 and Type Super provides a profit of $4.5 per pound. Type Basic Type Super Area in square feet 1 1 Pesticides 2 1 Harvesting &Packaging hours 2 5 Let X = the pounds of Type Basic seed Let Y= the pounds of Type Super seed The Linear Program has been provided as follows: Max 3X + 4.5Y s.t. 1A + 1B ≤ 300 ------1 2A + 1B ≤ 400 -------2 2A + 5B ≤ 750 --------3 A , B ≥ 0 USE GRAPHICAL SOLUTION PROCEDURE TO SOLVE THE LINEAR PROGRAM AND PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS. • Draw the constraints • Shade the feasible region • Corners should be clear and make an arrow to define the feasible region. .Point out the optimal corner on the graph ( the optimal solution). Upload your graph. Then calculate the following and type the answers • The Optimal Production quantities of grass type Basic and grass type Super. • How much profit can be made from the optimal values of X and Y Is there any slack? How much? Where?
