Textbook Question
Chapter 9.3, Problem 18E
Use the simplex method to solve the linear programming problem in Section 9.2, Example 1.
EXAMPLE 1 The Shady-Lane grass seed company blends two types of seed mixtures, EverGreen and QuickGreen. Each bag of EverGreen contains 3 pounds of fescue seed, 1 pound of rye seed, and 1 pound of bluegrass. Each bag of QuickGreen contains 2 pounds of fescue, 2 pounds of rye, and 1 pound of bluegrass. The company has 1200 pounds of fescue seed, 800 pounds of rye seed, and 450 pounds of bluegrass available to put into its mixtures. The company makes a profit of $2 on each bag of EverGreen and $3 on each bag of QuickGreen that it produces. Set up the mathematical problem that determines the number of bags of each mixture that Shady-Lane should make in order to maximize its profit.
