Textbook Question
Chapter 4.2, Problem 38E
Set up and solve Exercises 35–40 by the simplex method.
38. Blending Nutrients A biologist has 500 kg of nutrient A, 600 kg of nutrient B, and 300 kg of nutrient C. These nutrients will be used to make four types of food, whose contents (in percent of nutrient per kilogram of food) and whose “growth values” are as shown in the table.
- (a) How many kilograms of each food should be produced in order to maximize total growth value?
- (b) Find the maximum growth value.
- (c) Does it require all of the available nutrients to produce the four types of food that maximizes the total growth value? If not, how much of each nutrient is left over?

America is getting older. The graph shows the projected elderly U.S. population for ages 65–84 and for ages 85 and older.The formula E = 5.8√x + 56.4 models the projected number of elderly Americans ages 65–84, E, in millions, x years after 2020.a. Use the formula to find the projected increase in the number of Americans ages 65–84, in millions, from 2030 to 2060. Express this difference in simplified radicalform.b. Use a calculator and write your answer in part (a) to the nearest tenth. Does this rounded decimal overestimate or underestimate the difference in the projected data shown by the bar graph ? By how much?
