Question 1189977: Hello,
I have some problems with this task, could you help me make formulas to be able to solve the task? The results are not that important for me, a clear solution would be great.
A western shop wishes to purchase 470 felt and 370 straw cowboy hats. Bids have been received from three wholesalers. Texas hatters has agreed to supply not more than 370, Lone Star Hatters not more than 463, and Lariat Ranch Wear not more than 185. The owner of the shop has estimated that his profit per hat sold from Texas Hatters would be $3/felt and $4/straw, Lone Star Hatters would be $3,80/felt and $3,50/straw and from Lariat Ranch Wear $4/felt and $3,60/straw. Solve this to maximize the owner's profit, and calculate that profit.

Question 1190515: Chris is a competitive swimmer. From experience, he knows that the function
g(t) will represent his height above the water when he dives off of the regular 4-foot-high diving platform, where t is the number of seconds after he jumps off of the platform. This function works when t≥0 (up until he hits the water).
This reminded Chris of another time when he was distracted, and jumped off the 30-foot super-high-dive platform two seconds before the starting signal.
Write an expression (using the function g) that will model Chris's height above the water, where t is the number of seconds after the starting signal.
