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.

Solution Summary: The author explains the system of linear inequalities which define the appropriate restraints on x, number of cubic yards of mix A and B that must be produced by a manufacturing company
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

x
is the number of cubic yards of mix
A
used and
y
is the number of cubic yards of mix
