\n" ); document.write( "Kim has nutritional deficiency and is tols to take at least 2600 mg of iron, 2100 mg of vitamin B1 and 1500 of B2.
\n" ); document.write( "One Maxivite pill contains 35 mg of iron, 8 mg of B1, 3 mg of B2 and it cost $0.07
\n" ); document.write( "One Healthovite pill contain 10 mg of iron, 15 mg of B1 and 18 of B2 and it cost $0.10
\n" ); document.write( "a) What combination of Maxivite and Healthovite pills will meet​ Kim's requirement at lowest​ cost? What is the lowest​ cost?
\n" ); document.write( "b) Does Kim receive more than the minimum amount she needs of any​ vitamin? If​ so, which vitamin is​ it?
\n" ); document.write( "_______________________________
\n" ); document.write( "I did graph on desmos.com and I think this is result:
\n" ); document.write( "a) The best combination is 31 pills of Maxivite and 96 of Healhovite. The lowest cost is $11.77

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "31 times 35 is 1085 mg of iron and 96 times 10 is 960 mg of iron, so with your 31/96 combination, she only gets 2045 mg of iron, not the 2600 mg that she requires. The B1 comes out to 1688 -- far short of the required 2100. Yes, she does get 321 mg extra B2, but that really doesn't matter since the other two values are deficient.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Graphing this is going to be very difficult because this is a 3-dimensional problem. You need to go back and review the Simplex method of solving Linear Programming problems -- and that is much more complex than can easily be shown here. If you write back, I can tell you how to solve it using Excel.\r
