document.write( "Question 1198757: A company makes two types of​ biscuits: Jumbo and Regular. The oven can cook at most 400 biscuits per day. Each jumbo biscuit requires 2 oz of​ flour, each regular biscuit requires 1 oz of​ flour, and there is 600 oz of flour available. The income from each jumbo biscuit is ​$0.07 and from each regular biscuit is ​$0.12 . How many of each size biscuit should be made to maximize​ income? What is the maximum​ income?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = number of jumbo biscuits
\n" ); document.write( "y = number of regular biscuits\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your constraint inequalities are:
\n" ); document.write( "x + y <= 400
\n" ); document.write( "2x + y <= 600\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your objective function is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "income = .07x + .12y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + y <= 400 says that the total number of biscuits has to be less than or equal to 400.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x + y <= 600 says that the total amount of flour has to be less than 600 ounces.
\n" ); document.write( "there are 2 ounces of flour for each jumbo biscuit and 1 ounce of flour for each regular biscuit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "income = .07x + .12y says that income = 7 cents for each jumbo biscuit and 12 cents for each regular biscuit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "using the desmos.com/calculator, you would graph the opposite of the inequalities.
\n" ); document.write( "the area of the graph that is not shaded is your region of feasibility.
\n" ); document.write( "the region of feasibility includes the lines of the inequalities that border it.
\n" ); document.write( "the corner points of the region of feasibility is where the maximum income will be.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here is what the graph looks like:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the corner points of the region of feasibility are:
\n" ); document.write( "(0,400)
\n" ); document.write( "(200,200)
\n" ); document.write( "(300,0)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you evaluate the objective function at each corner point to find the maximum income.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "at (0,400), the income is 0 * .07 + 400 * .12 = 48
\n" ); document.write( "at (200,200), the income is 200 * .07 + 200 * .12 = 38
\n" ); document.write( "at (300,0), the income is 300 * .07 = 21\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the maximum income is at the point (0,400)
\n" ); document.write( "that would require no large biscuits and 400 regular biscuits.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
