- Need only a handwritten solution only (not a typed one).arrow_forwardConsider a simple economic system consisting of three industries: electricity, water, and coal. Production, or output, of one unit of electricity requires 0.5 unit of itself, 0.25 unit of water, and 0.25 unit of coal. Production of one unit of water requires 0.1 unit of electricity, 0.6 unit of itself, and 0 units of coal. Production of one unit of coal requires 0.2 unit of electricity, 0.15 unit of water, and 0.5 unit of itself. Find the input-output matrix for this system.arrow_forward8. A person on a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet requires at least 100 units of protein and at most 24 units of carbohydrates daily. The diet will consist entirely of three special liquid diet foods: A, B, and C. The contents and costs of the diet foods are given in the table. How many bottles of each brand of diet food should be consumed daily in order to meet the protein and carbohydrate requirements at minimal cost? What is the minimum cost? Note: Use the big M method. Protein Carbohydrates Units per bottle A 10 2 Cost per bottle ($) 0.60 B 10 3 0.40 C 20 4 1.50arrow_forward
- a. Complete the fourth column (market value) of the above table.arrow_forwardA department store stocks three types of materials: A, B, and C.Each unit of type A occupies 0.2 square meters of shelf space, each unit of type B occupies 0.2 square meters of shelf space, and each unit of type C occupies 0.2 square meters of shelf space. The store has 100 square meters available for storage. Surveys show that the store should have on hand at least 18 units of material A and at least 22 units of A and B combined.Storage of one unit of brand A costs the store £19, brand B £9, and brand C £14. The store management wants to use all shelf space available and minimise the cost of storage. What is the minimum cost of storage that the store can achieve by choosing an optimal storage plan?arrow_forward1. A small manufacturing plant makes three types of inflatable boats: one-person, two-person, and four-person models. Each boat requires the service of three departments, as listed on the table. The cutting, assembly, and packaging departments have a maximum of 380, 330, and 120 labor- hours per week, respective. Department One-Person Boat Two-Person Boat Four-Person Boat Cutting 0.5 hours 1.0 hours 1.5 hours Assembly 0.6 hours 0.9 hours 1.2 hours Packaging 0.2 hours 0.3 hours 0.5 hours How many boats of each type must be produced each week for the plant to operate at full capacity? Make sure to label the variables using a complete sentence, write the system of equations, write the corresponding augmented matrix, solve using matrix methods, and write your answer as a complete sentence (you might need to use the other side of the page)arrow_forward
- 1) Happy Quack pet food is made from corn, seeds, and beans. Each pound of corn provides 10 units of fiber, 10 units of fat, and 10 units of protein. Each pound of seeds provides 10 units of fiber, 20 units of fat, and 20 units of protein. Each pound of beans provides 10 units of fiber, 20 units of fat, and 40 units of protein. How many pounds of each ingredient are needed to make a feed that supplies a total of 400 units of fiber, 600 units of fat, and 800 units of protein? Use G-J Elimination method. a) Write the system of equations. Define the variables. b) Write the augmented matrix for this problem. c) Solve using Gauss-Jordan elimination method. Label answers.arrow_forward2. A firm produces two products A and B. Both products need to undergo a press machine and a paining process. Every unit of product A needs 40 hours of the press machine and 50 hours of the painting process. Similarly, every unit of product B needs 40 hours of the press machine and 25 hours of the painting process. Each unit of product A brings 600,000 yen of profit and every unit of product B 400,000 yen. Every month, the total available time for the press machine is 480 hours and for the painting process 400 hours. Formulate this problem as a LP model and solve the model.arrow_forward2 2) A factory makes three types of granola cereal: Plain, Nutty, and Chewy. Each batch of Plain uses 1 ounce of toasted oats, 1 ounce of almonds, and 1 ounce of raisins. Each batch of Nutty uses 1 ounce of toasted oats, 4 ounce of almonds, and 2 ounces of raisins Each batch of Chewy uses 1 ounce of toasted oats, 4 ounces of almonds, and 3 ounces of raisins. Given that the existing stock contains 6 ounces of toasted oats, 21 ounces of almonds, and 13 ounces of raisins, how much of each should be made? Solve the system by using Cramer's Rule. a) Write a system of equations for the problem. Define variables. b) Write each of the four determinants needed to complete the problem. DO NOT EVALUATE THEM UNTIL PART ©. Label each determinant. c) Solve the system using Cramer's Rule. Show all work. Label your answers.
