Incline Electronics produces three different products in a plant that is open 40 hours per week. Each product requires the following processing times (in hours) on each of three machines. Product 1 Product 2 Product 3
Machine 1 2 2 1
Machine 2 3 4 6
Machine 3 4 6 5

Each machine must be run by one of 19 cross-trained workers who are each available 35 hours per week. The plant has 10 type 1 machines available, 6 type 2 machines available, and 8 type 3 machines available. Products 1, 2, and 3 contribute $90, $120, and $150, respectively, in marginal profit per unit produced.

Required:
a. Formulate an LP model for this problem.
b. Implement your model in a spreadsheet and solve it.
c. What is the optimal solution?
d. How many workers should be assigned to each type of machine?

Browning labs is testing a new growth inhibitor for a certain type of bacteria. the bacteria naturally grows exponentially each hour at a rate of 6.2%. the researchers know that the inhibitor will make the growth rate of the bacteria less than or equal to its natural growth rate. the sample currently contains 100 bacteria. the container holding the sample can hold only 300 bacteria, after which the sample will no longer grow. however, the researchers are increasing the size of the container at a constant rate allowing the container to hold 100 more bacteria each hour. they would like to determine the possible number of bacteria in the container over time. create a system of inequalities to model the situation above, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.

Kayla wants to find the width, ab, of a river. she walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point c. then she walks 25 ft further and marks point d. she turns 90° and walks until her location, point a, and point c are collinear. she marks point e at this location, as shown. (a) can kayla conclude that δ and δ are similar? why or why not? (b) suppose de = 15 ft. what can kayla conclude about the width of the river?
