Question 48378: I hope this is the right category for the problem I need help with. It states to find the value for the function and the question is:
Find f(2) when F(x) = *x2-5 over x+3


* x2 in this case represents x squared (Can't find the symbol used in the above example). From other homework, my solution is to place the equation as: x2-5 = x+3 (2) and solve from there, only multiplying the dominator by the function of x. I come up with
x2-2x-11=0 is the quadratic formula necessary to figure x. Please provide help!
This question is not from a textbook, but I did put in the barcode of textbook used.

Question 48810: Hi, I need help solving this problem, I tried it, but I didn't get far.
The dairy is capable of producing a maximum of 600 gallons of ice cream each day.
Ingredients for regular brand ice cream cost $0.60 per gallon, and premium brand costs $1.50 per gallon. The company can spend no more than $675 per day on the ingredients.
Regular brand requires 4- person hours to produce 100 gallons of ice cream, whereas premium brand requires 4- person hours to produce 100 gallons. The dairy is able to run 26 person hours per day of production.
Here's what I got: (p= premium, r= regular, P=profit)
Max number of gallons that can be produced each day:
p+%2B+r+%3C=+600
Cost of ingredients per gallon produced each day:
1.5p+%2B+.6r+%3C=+675
Number of person hours to produce ice cream each day:
.04r+%2B+.05p+%3C=+26
The question I'm having trouble with is: How many gallons of each brand of ice cream should the diary produce to maximize it's daily profit, taking into account all of the production requirements identified. Provide supporting work that clearly describes your solution.
I believe the equation would be:
P=+%28.6r%29+%2B+%281.5p%29+-+675 (Is this right?)
But then again, how can I include the hours, or are they not necessary?
I need help finding the amount of gallons of each brand that will make the greatest profit.
Thanks much for your time.

Question 48824: Hi, I need help solving this problem, I tried it, but I didn't get
far.
The dairy is capable of producing a maximum of 600 gallons of ice cream
each day.
Ingredients for regular brand ice cream cost $0.60 per gallon, and
premium brand costs $1.50 per gallon. The company can spend no more than
$675 per day on the ingredients.
Regular brand requires 4- person hours to produce 100 gallons of ice
cream, whereas premium brand requires 5- person hours to produce 100
gallons. The dairy is able to run 26 person hours per day of production.
Bo predicts that the dairy will make a profit of $2.88 per gallon on the regular brand and $3.24 per gallon on the premium.
Here's what I got: (p= premium, r= regular, P=profit)
Function that will determine daily profit for the dairy comparny:

Cost of ingredients per gallon produced each day:
1.5p+%2B+.6r+%3C=+675
Number of person hours to produce ice cream each day:
.04r+%2B+.05p+%3C=+26
The question I'm having trouble with is: How many gallons of each brand
of ice cream should the diary produce to maximize it's daily profit,
taking into account all of the production requirements identified.
Provide supporting work that clearly describes your solution.
I believe the equation would be:
P=+%282.88r%29+%2B+%283.24p%29+ --Is this correct, or are the hours have to be interpreted also?
I need help finding the amount of gallons of each brand that will make
the greatest profit. I created a graph and graphed the inequalities to find the feasible region and I know the amount of gallons of each should be in the feasible region, but how can I find the number of gallons for each???
Thanks much for your time.
