The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

You manage a chemical company with 2 warehouses. The following quantities of Important Chemical A have arrived from an international supplier at 3 different ports: Chemical Available (L) Port 1 400 Port 2 110 Port 3 100 The following amounts of Important Chemical A are required at your warehouses: Warehouse 1 Warehouse 2 Chemical Required (L) 380 230 The cost in£to ship 1L of chemical from each port to each warehouse is as follows: Warehouse 1 Warehouse 2 Port 1 £10 Port 2 £20 Port 3 £13 £45 £28 £11 (a) You want to know how to send these shipments as cheaply as possible. For- mulate this as a linear program (you do not need to formulate it in standard inequality form) indicating what each variable represents. (b) Suppose now that all is as in the previous question but that only 320L of Important Chemical A are now required at Warehouse 1. Any excess chemical can be transported to either Warehouse 1 or 2 for storage, in which case the company must pay only the relevant transportation…

Suppose we have a linear program in standard equation form maximize cx subject to Ax = b, x > 0. and suppose u, v, and w are all optimal solutions to this linear program. (a) Prove that z = u+v+w is an optimal solution. (b) If you try to adapt your proof from part (a) to prove that that u+v+w is an optimal solution, say exactly which part(s) of the proof go wrong. (c) If you try to adapt your proof from part (a) to prove that u+v-w is an optimal solution, say exactly which part(s) of the proof go wrong.
