Guyton makes
Let
a. Write an objective function representing his weekly income for tutoring
b. The time that Guyton devotes to tutoring is limited by the following constraints. Write a system of inequalities representing the constraints.
• The number of hours spent tutoring each subject cannot be negative.
• Due to the academic demands of his own classes he tutors at most
• The tutoring center requires that he tutors math at least
• The demand for math tutors is greater than the demand for chemistry tutors. Therefore, the number of hours he spends tutoring math must be at least twice the number of hours he spends tutoring chemistry.
c. Graph the system of inequalities represented by the constraints.
d. Find the vertices of the feasible region.
e. Test the objective function at each vertex
f. How many hours tutoring math and how many hours tutoring chemistry should Guyton work to maximize his income?
g. What is the maximum income?
h. Explain why Guyton's maximum income is found at a point on the line

- The manufacturer of a water bottle spends $5 to build each bottle and sells them for $10. The manufacturer also has fixed costs each month of $6500. (a) Find the cost function C when x bottles are manufactured. (b) Find the revenue function R when x bottles are sold. (c) Show the break-even point by graphing both the Revenue and Cost functions on the same grid. (d) Find the break-even point. Interpret what the break-even point means.arrow_forwardThe manufacturer of an energy drink spends $1.20 to make each drink and sells them for $2.

Her job at the day spa pays $10 an hour and her administrative assistant job on campus pays $17.50 an hour. How many hours does Veronica need to work at each job to earn at least $280? (a) Let x be the number of hours she works at the day spa and let y be the number of hours she works as administrative assistant. Write an inequality that would model this situation. (b) Graph the inequality. (c) Find three ordered pairs (x, y) that would be solutions to the inequality. Then, explain what that means for Veronicaarrow_forward
