Algebra.Com's Answer #58185 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! small frim produces both AM and AM/FM car radios. The AM radios take 15 h to produce, and the AM/FM radios take 20 h. The number of production hours is limited to 300 h per week. The plant's capacity is limited to a total of 18 radios per week, and existing orders require that at least 4 AM radios and at least 3 AM/FM radios be produced per week. Write a system of inequalities representing this situation. Then, draw a graph of the feasible region given these conditions, in which X is the number of AM radios and Y is the number of AM/FM radios. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "You must show a graph to earn credit for this question. \n" ); document.write( "Your graph must indicate shading. \n" ); document.write( "You can use words to tell me if your line is solid or dashed. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Hint: There should be 4 separate lines on your final graph. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Let x = number of AM radios; let y = number of AM/FM radios \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The production hour constraint: \n" ); document.write( "15x + 20y =< 300 \n" ); document.write( "Arrange in general form to plot the graph \n" ); document.write( "20y =< 300 - 15x \n" ); document.write( "y =< 300/20 - (15/20)x \n" ); document.write( "y =< 15 - .75x, use this to plot the production hr graph (Purple solid line) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Plant's capacity constraint: \n" ); document.write( "x + y =< 18 \n" ); document.write( "y =< 18 - x, plot this graph also (Green solid line) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Min AM radio production constraint: \n" ); document.write( "x => 4 \n" ); document.write( "This will be a vertical line going thru the x axis at +4, (I can't draw this in) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Min AM/FM radio production constaint \n" ); document.write( "y => 3 \n" ); document.write( "This will be a horizontal line going thru the y axis at +3,(Dark blue solid line) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Here is the graph as presented by these equations except for x => 4, \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "The feasibility region: \n" ); document.write( " 1.
