Chapter 5.2, Problem 55E

Plant food. A farmer can buy two types of plant food, mix A and mix B . Each cubic yard of mix A contains 20 pounds of phosphoric acid, 30 pounds of nitrogen, and 5 pounds of potash. Each cubic yard of mix B contains 10 pounds of phosphoric acid, 30 pounds of nitrogen, and 10 pounds of potash. The minimum monthly requirements are 460 pounds of phosphoric acid, 960 pounds of nitrogen, and 220 pounds of potash. If x is the number of cubic yards of mix A used and y is the number of cubic yards of mix B used, write a system of linear inequalities that indicates appropriate restraints on x and y . Find the set of feasible solutions graphically for the amounts of mix A and mix B that can be used.

Students have asked these similar questions
A farmer can use three types of plant food: mix A, mix B, and mix C. The amounts (in pounds) of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in a cubic yard of each mix are given in the table. Tests performed on the soil indicate that the field needs at least 1000 pounds of potash. The tests also indicate that no more than 800 pounds of phosphoric acid should be added to the field. The farmer plans to plant a crop that requires a great deal of nitrogen. How many cubic yards of each mix should be added to the field in order to satisfy the potash and phosphoric acid requirements and maximize the amount of nitrogen? What is the maximum amount of nitrogen? Pounds per Cubic Yard A B Nitrogen Phosphoric 15 20 10 8 16 acid Potash 16 16 Construct a mathematical model in the form of a linear programming problem. Use x, to represent the cubic yards of mix A, x, to represent the cubic yards of mix B, and x3 to represent the cubic yards of mix C. Maximize P = subject to V 1000 V 800 X1, X2, X3 8 o co
A farmer can buy two types of plant food, mix A and mix B. Each cubic yard of mix A contains 20 pounds of phosphoric acid, 30 pounds of nitrogen, and 5 pounds of potash. Each cubic yard of mix B contains 10 pounds of phosphoric acid, 30 pounds of nitrogen, and 10 pounds of potash. The minimum monthly requirements are 430 pounds of phosphoric acid, 960 pounds of nitrogen, and 220 pounds of potash. If mix A costs $20 per cubic yard and mix B costs $35 per cubic yard, how many cubic yards of each mix should the farmer blend to meet the minimum monthly requirements at a minimum cost? What is this cost? If mix A costs $20 per cubic yard and mix B costs $35 per cubic yard, the farmer should blend yd³ of mix B to meet the minimum monthly requirements at a minimum cost. yd³ of mix A and
A farmer can buy two types of plant food, mix A and mix B. Each cubic yard of mix A contains 36 pounds of phosphoric acid, 27 pounds of nitrogen, and 9 pounds of potash. Each cubic yard of mix B contains 12 pounds of phosphoric acid, 27 pounds of nitrogen, and 24 pounds of potash. The minimum monthly requirements are 540 pounds of phosphoric acid, 810 pounds of nitrogen, and 360 pounds of potash. Find the set of feasible solutions graphically for the amounts of mix A and Ay 50- 40- mix B that can be used. 30- If x is the number of cubic yards of mix A used and y is the number of cubic yards of mix B used, write a system of linear inequalities that indicates appropriate restraints on x and y. Write an inequality for the constraint on phosphoric acid. Complete the inequality below. 20- 540 10- 10 20 30 40 30
