Question
A dietician is preparing a meal consisting of foods A, B,
and C. Each ounce of food A contains 2 units of pro-
tein, 3 units of fat, and 4 units of carbohydrate. Each
ounce of food B contains 3 units of protein, 2 units of
fat, and 1 unit of carbohydrate. Each ounce of food C
contains 3 units of protein, 3 units of fat, and 2 units of
carbohydrate. If the meal must provide exactly 25 units
of protein, 24 units of fat, and 21 units of carbohydrate,
how many ounces of each type of food should be used?

One day's operation at mine #1 produces ore that contains 10 metric tons of copper and 590 kilograms of silver, while one day's operation at mine 10 and V₂ = #2 produces ore that contains 20 metric tons of copper and 550 kilograms of silver. Let v₁ 20 550 Then v₁ and v₂ represent the "output per day" of mine #1 and 590 mine #2, respectively. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. What physical interpretation can be given to the vector 2v₁? O A. It is the output of copper at mine #1 after 2 days of operation. B. It is the output at mine #1 after 2 days of operation. O C. It is the output at mine #2 after 2 days of operation. OD. It is the output of silver at mine #1 after 2 days of operation. C... b. Suppose the company operates mine #1 for x₁ days and mine #2 for x₂ days.

She wants to feed one of the volunteers a daily diet that consists of a combination of three commercial diet foods: MiniCal, LiquiFast, SlimQuick. For the experiment, it is important that the volunteer consume a total of exactly 500 of potassium, 75g of protein, and 1150 IU of vitamin D every day. The amounts of these nutrients in one ounce of eacl diet food are given in the table. How many ounces of each food should the volunteer eat every day to satisfy the nutrient requirements exactly? MiniCal (1 ounce) LiquiFast (1 ounce) SlimQuick (1 ounce) Potassium (mg) 50 75 10 Protein (g) 10 3 vitamin D (IU) 90 100 50 Solve the system algebraically or use the rref in your graphing calculator to find the amount of ounces of each food needed to satisfy the nutrient requirements.arrow_forward
- Fertilizer is sold in 100 pound bags labelled with the amount of nitrogen (N), phosphoric acid (P2O5), and potash (K2O) present. The mixture of these nutrients varies from one type of fertilizer to the next. For example, a 100 pound bag of Vigoro Ultra Turf fertilizer contains 29 pounds of nitrogen, 3 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 4 pounds of potash. Another type of fertilizer, Parker's Premium Starter, has 18 pounds of nitrogen, 25 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 6 pounds of potash per 100 pounds. Determine the total amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the mixture of 200 pounds of Vigoro and 300 pounds of Parker's. The mixture contains pounds of potash. pounds of nitrogen, pounds of phosphoric acid, andarrow_forwardA dietician is planning a snack package of fruit and nuts.

All three types require Milk and choco but types 2 & 3 require peanuts also. Each unit of A requires 1 unit of milk and 2 units of choco. Each unit of B needs 1 unit of milk, 3 units of choco, and 40 grams of peanuts. Each unit of C requires 1 unit of milk, 1 unit of choco and 50 grams of peanuts. Each working day, the company has 25 units of milk, 50 units of choco and 1.5 kilograms (Kg) of peanuts. The time required to manufacture each unit of A is 20 minutes, each unit of B is 25 minutes, and each unit of C is 30 minutes. The cost of each unit of milk is $0.5, each unit of choco is $1.5, and each 1 Kg of peanuts is $5. The company sells each unit of A at $4, each unit of B at $6, and each unit of C at $8. Each working day, the manufacture has 4 hours available for making all three types of chocolate. Formulate an LP that can be used to maximize the manufacture daily profit?

- A freshly brewed shot of espresso has three distinct components: the heart, body, and crema. The separation of these three components typically lasts only 10 to 20 seconds. To use the espresso shot in making a latte, a cappuccino, or another drink, the shot must be poured into the beverage during the separation of the heart, body, and crema. If the shot is used after the separation occurs, the drink becomes excessively bitter and acidic, ruining the final drink. Thus, a longer separation time allows the drink-maker more time to pour the shot and ensure that the beverage will meet expectations. An employee at a coffee shop hypothesized that the harder the espresso grounds were tamped down into the portafilter before brewing, the longer the separation time would be. An experiment using 24 observations was conducted to test this relationship. The independent variable Tamp measures the distance, in inches, between the espresso grounds and the top of the portafilter (i.e., the harder the…arrow_forwardAn electronics company produces transistors, resistors, and computer chips. Each transistor requires 3 units of copper, 1 unit of zinc, and 2 units of glass. Each resistor requires 3, 2, and 1 units of the three materials, and each computer chip requires 2, 1, and 2 units of these materials, respectively. How many of each product can be made with the following amounts of materials? Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) Let x represent the number of transistors that can be made, y the number of resistors, and z the number of computer chips. Write a system of three linear equations when the amounts of available materials are 775 units of copper, 385 units of zinc, and 470 units of glass. Choose the correct answer below. A. 3x + 3y + 2z = 385 x+2y+z=775 2x+y + 2z = 470 O C. 3x + 3y + 2z = 775 x + 2y + z = 385 2x+y + 2z = 470 The company can make 6 transistors, 2 resistors, and 3 computer chips.
