If he earned a total of $1 interest during a single year, how much does he have on deposit in each institution? a) $8 at %, $1 at 8% b) $75 at %, $15 at 8% c) $1 at %, $ at 8% d) $1 at %, $8 at 8% e) $15 at %, $75 at 8% f ) none of the preceding. Deluxe River Cruises operates a fleet of river vessels. The fleet has two types of vessels: each type-a vessel has deluxe cabins and 1 standard cabins, whereas each type-b vessel has 8 deluxe cabins and 1 standard cabins. Under the charter agreement with Odyssey Travel Agency, Deluxe River Cruises is to provide Odyssey with a minimum of 3 deluxe and 8 standard cabins for their 15-day cruise in May. It costs $, to operate a type-a vessel and $5, to operate a type-b vessel for that period. Identify the objective function and system of constraints that give the number of each type of vessel that should be used in order to keep the operating costs to a minimum. a) Minimize: C =,A + 5,B b) Minimize: C =,A + 5,B subject to: 3 A + 8B subject to: 3 A + 8B 8 1A + 1B 8 1A + 1B A, B A, B c) Minimize: C =,A + 5,B d) Minimize: C =,A + 5,B subject to: 3 A + 1B subject to: 3 A + 1B 8 8A + 1B 8 8A + 1B A, B A, B e) none of the preceding 5.

3 . Jackson Farms has allotted a certain amount of land for cultivating soybeans, corn, and wheat. Cultivating 1 acre of soybeans requires labor-hours, and cultivating 1 acre of corn or wheat requires labor-hours. The cost of seeds for 1 acre of soybeans is $1, for an acre of corn is $, and for wheat is $8. If all resources are to be used, how many acres of each crop should be cultivated if 1 acres of land are allotted, labor-hours are available, and $13, is available for seeds? 7. Kane Manufacturing has a division that produces two models of fireplace grates model A and model B. To produce each model A grate requires 3 lb of cast iron and min of labor. To produce each model B grate requires lb of cast iron and 3 min of labor. The profit for each model A grate is $. and the profit for each model B grate is $ lb of cast iron and labor-hours are available for the production of the fireplace grates per day. Write the system of constraints and the objective function used to determine how many grates of each model the division should produce each day to maximize its profit. (Solve the problem in problem in #8 below.) 8. Use the linear program from #7 above to determine the number of each model of grate that maximizes the division s profit. (Use the graph to visualize the problem.)

4 9. K & R Builders builds three models of houses M 1, M and M 3, in three subdivisions I, II and III located in three different areas of the county. The prices of the houses (in $1) are given in matrix A. If K & R Builder decides to raise the price of each house by 3%: I II III a. Write the equation to find matrix B that show the new prices. b. Write matrix B that gives the new prices of the houses. 1. Suzanne operates three self-service gasoline stations in different parts of town. On a certain day, the sales were: The prices that day were: gallons sold Premium Super Regular Diesel Station A Station B 7 1 Station C dollars per gallon Premium Super Regular Diesel a. Write the matrix multiplication that gives the total revenue for each station. b. Use the multiplication to find the total revenue for each station.
