A chicken farmer can buy a special food mix A at 20 c per pound and a special food mix B at 40 c per pound. Each pound of mix A contains 3 , 000 units of nutrient N 1 and 1 , 000 units of nutrient N 2 ; each pound of mix B contains 4 , 000 units of nutrient N 1 and 4 , 000 units of nutrient N 2 . If the minimum daily requirements for the chickens collectively are 36 , 000 units of nutrient N 1 and 20 , 000 units of nutrient N 2 , how many pounds of each food mix should be used each day to minimize daily food costs while meeting (or exceeding) the minimum daily nutrient requirements? What is the minimum daily cost? Construct a mathematical model and solve using the geometric method.

A chicken farmer can buy a special food mix A at 20c per Kg and special food mix B at 40c perKg. Each Kg of mix A contains 3000 units of nutrient N1 and 1000 units of nutrient N2; eachKg of mix B contains 4000 units of nutrient N1 and 4000 units of nutrient N2. If the minimumdaily requirements for the chickens collectively are 36000 units of nutrient N1 and 20000 unitsof nutrient N2, how many pounds of each food mix should be used each day to minimize dailyfood costs while meeting (or exceeding) the minimum daily nutrient requirements? What is theminimum daily cost?

The water-supply manager for a Midwest city needs to supply the city with at least 10 million gal of potable (drinkable) water per day. The supply may be drawn from the local reservoir or from a pipeline to an adjacent town. The local reservoir has a maximum daily yield of 6 million gallons of potable water, and the pipeline has a maximum daily yield of 10 million gallons. By contract, the pipeline is required to supply a minimum of 6 million gallons/day. If the cost for 1 million gallons of reservoir water is $300 and that for pipeline water is $600, how much water should the manager get from each source to minimize daily water costs, C, for the city?
