document.write( "Question 1177950: A manufacturer of downhill and cross-country skis reports that manufacturing time is 3 hours and 7 hours, respectively, per ski and that finishing time is 2 hours for each downhill and 2 hours for each cross-crountry ski. There are only 35 hours per week available for the manufacturing process and 18 hours for the finishing process. The average profit is $62 for downhill ski and $63 for cross-country ski. The manufacturer wants to know how many of each type of ski should be made to maximize the weekly profit.\r

\n" ); document.write( "2x+2y greater than or equal to sign 18
\n" ); document.write( "I used (0,0) as test points for both and got (0,5) and (11.6,0) for one and (0,9) and (9,0) for the other. my vertices for the feasible region came out to (11.6, 0), (7,2), and (0,9). The (7,2) had a value of 560 when I typed it into my objective function of 62x+63y=z. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. \r
