Math Problem Statement
A. Solve the problem. 1. A factory produces two agricultural pesticides, A and B. For every barrel of A, the factory emits 0.25 kg of carbon monoxide (CO) and 0.60 kg of Sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ), and for every barrel of B, it emits 0.50 kg of CO and 0.20 kg of SO 2 . Pollution laws restrict the factory’s output of CO to a maximum of 75 kg and SO 2 to a maximum of 90 kg per day. Find a system of inequalities that describes the number of barrels of each pesticide the factory can produce and still satisfy the pollution laws. Graph the feasible region. 2. A woodworker builds and sells band-saw boxes. He manufactures two types of boxes using a combination of three types of wood, maple, walnut and cherry. To construct the Type I box, the carpenter requires 2 board foot (bf) (The board foot is a specialized unit of measure for the volume of lumber. It is the volume of a one-foot length of a board one foot wide and one inch thick) maple and 1 bf walnut. To construct the Type II box, he requires 3 bf of cherry and 1 bf of walnut. Given that he has 10 bf of maple, 5 bf of walnut and 11 bf of cherry and he can sell Type I of box for $120 and Type II box for $160, how many of each box type should he make to maximize his revenue? Assume that the woodworker can build the boxes in any size, therefore fractional solutions are acceptable.
