Question
Strictly homework not graded I have the answer for everything else, I just need help with the graph :)
**Title: Feasible Solutions for Plant Food Mixtures**

**Problem Statement:**

A farmer can purchase 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
- 8 pounds of potash

Each cubic yard of mix B contains:
- 8 pounds of phosphoric acid
- 30 pounds of nitrogen
- 24 pounds of potash

The minimum monthly requirements for the farmer are:
- 400 pounds of phosphoric acid
- 900 pounds of nitrogen
- 360 pounds of potash

**Objective:**

Determine the set of feasible solutions graphically for the amounts of mix A and mix B that can be used to meet these requirements.

**Inequalities Provided:**

\[ 8x + 24y \geq 360 \]

**Question:**

Are any other inequalities needed?

- A. Yes, \( x \geq 0 \) and \( y \geq 0 \)
- B. Yes, \( x \geq y \)
- C. Yes, \( x \leq 0 \) and \( y \leq 0 \)
- D. No

**Instructions for Graphing:**

Use the graphing tool to represent the system. Identify the region that represents the correct solution only once.

**Graph Explanation:**

The graph provided is a standard Cartesian plane with the x-axis and y-axis ranging from 0 to 60. The primary task is to graph the inequalities and determine where they overlap to find the feasible solution area. The constraints and boundaries formed by the inequalities will create a polygonal region representing all the possible combinations of mix A and mix B that meet the farmer's requirements.

**Note:**

Click on the graph, select a tool in the palette, and follow the instructions to create the graph. The toolbar provides interactive features to help visualize the inequalities and feasible regions.

**Progress Indicator:**

A horizontal progress bar indicating "All parts showing" ensures the completeness of the graphing task.
