Finance/603019: Hi,
I have a statistics exam on friday and I just have no idea on what to do. Looking at the passed papers this is one of the questions that i just cant figure out. Please help me out.
a) A manufacturer of outdoor clothing produces jackets and trousers. Each jacket requires 1 hour to make, whereas each pair of trousers takes 40 minutes. The materials for each jacket cost £32 and those for a pair of trousers cost £40. The manufacturer can devote only 34 hours per week to the production of jackets and trousers and the manufacturer’s total weekly cost for materials must not exceed £1200. The manufacturer sells the jackets at a profit of £12 each and the trousers at a profit of £14 per pair. Market research indicates that the manufacturer can sell all the jackets that are produced.
a) Determine how many jackets and trousers the manufacturer should produce each week in order to maximize profit?
(70 marks)
b)Due to changes in demand, the manufacturer has decided to decrease the number of production hours from 34 hours to 27 hours per week. What effect will this have on the level of profit? Hence estimate the value of the marginal cost of one less hour in production time.
(You may use either an algebraic or graphical approach providing a clear rationale is given to prove that your solution is in fact the optimum.)

Let represent the number of jackets and represent the number of trousers manufactured.

Since we are assuming that you will sell all that you make, the total profit is given by:



and this is the function that we want to maximize subject to the following constraints:

Labor constraint:



Materials constraint:



Non-negative constraints (you can't make a negative number of either jackets or trousers)





Integer constraint (you can't sell fractional parts of jackets or trousers)



Graph each of the constraint inequalities. Note the feasibility polygon that is defined by the region where ALL of the constraint inequalities overlap. A theorem of Linear Programming guarantees that if a unique optimum solution exists, it will be one of the vertices of the feasibility polygon.

Make a list of the ordered pairs that describe all of the vertices of the feasibility polygon. If any of the coordinates of any of the vertices are NOT integers, pick the nearest point to the actual vertex that both has integer coordinates and is inside the feasibility area.

Once you have your table of points with integer coefficients, test each point by substituting the coordinate values in place of and in the objective function (the profit function in this case) and calculate the result. Since this is a maximize problem, select the point that provides the largest solution as your optimum point.

For part b, change the labor constraint inequality to:



then redraw your graph and re-test all of the feasibility vertices. Compare the solution in part a to part b.

Angles/603010: Determine the smaller angle between the hands of a clock at 12:20. Show or explain how you got your answer.

The angular difference between the 12 where the minute hand was at exactly 12 and the 4 which is where the minute hand is at exactly 12:20 is exactly one-third of a circle. But while the minute hand was moving through this one-third of the whole circle, the hour hand was moving one-third of the way from the 12 (where it was at 12 o'clock exactly) to the 1 (where it will be when the minute hand gets all the way back around to the 12). The angular difference between the 12 and the 1 is one-twelfth of a circle. So the minute hand has moved a full one-third of the circle but the hour hand has moved one-third of one-twelfth of the circle. Then recall that there are 360 degrees in a circle.



You Win! You get to do your own arithmetic.

Collect like terms in the LHS.

Add -1 to both sides

Multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient on the variable.

The best way to answer this question so that the process will be clear in your mind is to actually perform each of the 4 operations listed and see which one of them actually gets you closer to a solution. Three of the operations listed will just create a bigger mess, and one of them makes things simpler.

Trigonometry-basics/602906: Hi, I need help with my homework. We are learning about the sum and difference of identities.
Here is the problem:
What is the value of sin(A-b) if tan A = 9/40 and A is in the first quadrant, while cos B = -4/5 and B is in the third quadrant?
I really don't get this homework. What is up with A and B? Do we need to plot the graph as well? It's confusing me. I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, I missed our class today, you see. I hope someone can explain this to me properly so I'll catch up with the lesson. Thank you!

A is an angle and they tell you it is in the first quadrant and that the tangent is

B is another angle. You are given that this angle is in the third quadrant and that the cosine is

They want to subtract the measure of angle B from the measure of angle A and then take the sine of the difference.

For such an operation you need the difference formula for sine:



Remember that tangent is sine over cosine, so:



So



Square both sides:



Use the Pythagorean Identity and substitute:



Collect like terms:



Take the positive (remember, QI) square root:



And



Again, the positive square root:



Similarly you can get from to . QIII, both sine and cosine are negative.

Now you have the four values you need to plug into:



You can do your own arithmetic.

Then, for futher study, here are the other three formulas you will need:

Draw the diagonals forming 4 triangles. Since it is a rhombus, it is also a parallelogram. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

AB congruent AD, defn of rhombus

AE congruent AE, reflexive equality

BE congruent DE, diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other

Triangle ABE congruent triangle ADE by SSS

Angle BED is a straight angle, hence measures 180 degrees.

Angle AEB congruent Angle AED by CPCT

measure of BED equals measure AEB + measure AED

measure of BED equals 2 times measure AEB

measure AEB is 90

The given trinomial cannot be factored over the rational numbers. Depending on your instructions you can either declare the trinomial to be prime, or factor it over the irrationals. If your instructor expects you to factor it over the irrationals, set the trinomial equal to zero and solve using the quadratic formula. You will obtain two roots, and . The factors of the trinomial are then and .

The mean (or average) doesn't tell you anything meaningful about this data. The mode is a much more meaningful measure of central tendancy in this case, and the mode of this data (4 in Georgia) is going to stick right out when you create your pie chart because Georgia's piece of the pie will be larger than the others. In contrast to the mean for this data, the mode points to a specific data point where as there is no place that has an "average" number of college professors.
