Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following linear programming problem graphically:
Minimize Z = 6x + 2y
Subject to:
(3x + 2y > 12
2x + 4y < 12
y1
(x > 0, y > 0
2. A nutritionist is planning a menu consisting of two main foods A and B.
Each ounce of A contains 2 units of fat, 1 unit of carbohydrates, and 4
units of protein. Each ounce of B contains 3 units of fat, 3 units of
carbohydrates, and 3 units of protein. The nutritionist wants the meal to
provide at least 18 units of fat, at least 12 units of carbohydrates, and at
least 24 units of protein. If an ounce of A costs 20 cents and an ounce of
B costs 25 cents, how many ounces of each food should be served to
minimize the cost of the meal yet satisfy the nutritionist's requirements?
