A small company produces both bouquets and wreaths of dried flowers. The bouquets take 1 hour of labor to produce, and the wreaths take 2 hours. The labor available is limited to 80 hours per week, and the total production capacity is 60 items per week. Write a system of inequalities representing this situation, where x is the number of bouquets and y is the number of wreaths.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = no. of bouquets; y = no. of wreaths
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Labor constraint:
\n" ); document.write( "1x + 2y =< 80
\n" ); document.write( "2y =< -x + 80
\n" ); document.write( "y =< -.5x + 40; divided equation by 2 ( this is the form we want for graphing)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Production capacity constraint:
\n" ); document.write( "x + y =< 60
\n" ); document.write( "y =< -x + 60
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Then graph the system of inequalities.
\n" ); document.write( "Plot two points for each:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -.5x + 40
\n" ); document.write( " x | y
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( " 0 | 40
\n" ); document.write( "50 | 15
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x + 60
\n" ); document.write( " x | y
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( " 0 | 60
\n" ); document.write( "50 | 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Plot and draw these two graphs, should look like this:
\n" ); document.write( " \"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-10%2C+80%2C+-10%2C+80%2C+-.5x%2B40%2C+-x%2B60%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Area of feasibility would be at or below the lowest line (Positive values only)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Did this make sense to you? Any questions?
