U2_Linear Programming Practice

Sarah makes small purses (x) and big purses (y). She can make no more than 8 purses a week.
Which inequality represents the situation?

• x + y ≤ 8
• x + y ≤ 6
• 2x + 3y ≤ 6
• x + y ≤ 10

It takes Sarah 2 hours to make small purses and 3 hours to make big purses. She has a maximum of 18 hours a week. Which inequality represents this situation?

• 2x + 3y ≤ 18
• x + y ≤ 6
• x + y ≤ 9
• 3x + 2y ≤ 18

Sarah makes $30 for each small purse (x) and $50 for each big purse (y). What is the objective quantity?

• P = 30x + 50y
• P = 50x + 30y

Objective quantity:
P = 30x + 50y

Write the system of inequalities
Carlos works at a movie theater selling tickets. The theater has 300 seats and charges $7.50 for adults and $5.50 for children. The theater expects to make at least $2000 for each showing.  

• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000
• x+y<300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000
• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≤2000
• x+y>2000
  7.5x+5.5y≤300

Find the values of x and y that maximize the objective function P = 3x + 2y for the graph. What is the maximum value?
   

• maximum value at (5, 4); 32
• maximum value at (0, 8); 16
• maximum value at (9, 0); 27
• maximum value at (0, 0); 0

A farmer can plant up to 6 acres of land with soybeans and corn. Her use of a necessary pesticide is limited by federal regulations to 15 gallons for her entire 6 acres. Soybeans require 2 gallons of pesticide for every acre planted and corn requires 3 gallons per acre. The profit the farmer makes by earning $4,000 for every acre of soybeans he plants and $3,000 for every acre he plants with barley can be modeled by P=4000x+3000y .  If x represents acres of soybeans and y represents acres of corns, which inequalities represent the possible solutions to her situation?

• x≥0
  y≥0
  x+y≥6 
  3x+2y≥15
• x≥0 
  y≥0 
  x+y≤6
  2x+3y≤15
• x≥0 
  y≥0 
  4000x+y≤6
  2x+600y≤15
• P=4000x+3000y
