Question 1193287: Formulate the situation as a system of inequalities. (Let x represent the number of goats the farmer can raise and y represent the number of llamas.)
A rancher raises goats and llamas on his 800-acre ranch. Each goat needs 4 acres of land and requires $60 of veterinary care per year, while each llama needs 10 acres of land and requires $48 of veterinary care per year. If the rancher can afford no more than $7,920 for veterinary care this year, how many of each animal can he raise?
_____________(land requirements)
_____________ (veterinary care)
x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
Find the vertices. (Order your answers from smallest to largest x, then from smallest to largest y.)
(x, y) =
(x, y) =
(x, y) =
(x, y) =

Graph your constraint inequalities with the OPPOSITE sense, that way your feasibility polygon is the UNSHADED area -- much easier to see.
I will leave it to you to find the vertices.
