EXAMPLE 3 Profit Suppose that the surfboard company discussed earlier has developed the yearly profit equation
where x is the number (in thousands) of standard surfboards produced per year, y is the number (in thousands) of competition surfboards produced per year, and P is profit (in thousands of dollars). How many of each type of board should be produced per year to realize a maximum profit? What is the maximum profit?

A squirrel is 24 feet up in a tree and tosses a nut out of the tree with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second. The nuts height, h, at time t seconds can be represented by the equation h(t) = -162 + 8t + 24. If the squirrel climbs down the tree in 2 seconds, does it reach the ground %3D before the nut?arrow_forwardA company manufacture two different products. For the coming week 120 hours of labor are available for manufacturing the two products work-hours can be allocated for production or either products l . In addition ,since both products generate a good profit , management is interested in using All 120 hours during the week . Each unit produced of product A requires 3 hours of labor and each unit of product B requires 2.5 hours . (a) Define an equation which states that total work -hours used for producing x units of product A and y units or product B equal 120 . (b) how many units of product A can be produced if 30 units of Product B are produced? (c) if management decides to produce one product only ,what is the maximum quantity which can be produced or product A ? The maximum of product B?arrow_forward
