Chapter 3.2, Problem 17E
DIET PLANNING A nutritionist at the Medical Center has been asked to prepare a special diet for certain patients. She has decided that the meals are to be prepared from Foods A and B and that the meals should contain a mini-mum of 400 mg of calcium, 10 mg of iron, and 40 mg of vitamin C. Each ounce of Food A contains 30 mg of calcium, 1 mg of iron, 2 mg of vitamin C, and 2 mg of cholesterol. Each ounce of Food B contains 25 mg of calcium, 0.5 mg of iron, 5 mg of vitamin C, and 5 mg of cholesterol. How many ounces of each type of food should be used in a meal so that the cholesterol content is minimized and the minimum requirements of calcium, iron, and vitamin C are met?

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardA florist offers three sizes of flower arrangements containing roses, daisies, and chrysanthemums.

- The Big Bang Novelty Company makes three basic types of noisemakers: Toot, Wheet, and Honk. The respective selling prices are $0.9O, $0.75, and $1.25 per unit, respectively. Two Toots can be made per minute, and each one has a feather attached to it. Three Wheets can be made per minute; each one has two feathers and is sprinkled with one-half ounce of sequin powder. Four Honks can be made in a minute; each one has 3 feathers and one ounce of sequin powder. The manufacturing costs for Toots, Wheets, and Honks are $0.35, $0.40, and $0.50, respectively. The following resources are available: 80 hours of labor, 90 ounces of sequin powder, and 360 feathers.
