Question
A paper manufacturing company converts wood pulp to writing pape.r and newsprint The profit on a unit of writing paper is $500 and the profit on a unit of newsprint is $350. a. Let x represent the number of units of writing paper produced daily. Let y represent the numbe r of units or newsprint produced dail)'. \Vrite the objective function that models total daily profit. b. 1l1e manufacturer is bound by the following constraints: Equipment in the factory allows for making at most 200 units of paper (writing paper and newsprint) in a day. Regular customers require at least 10 units of writing paper and at least SO units of newsprint daily. \Vrite a system of inequalities that models these constraints. c. GrJpb the inequalities in part (b). Useonlythe first quadrant, because x and y must both be positive. (Suggestion: Let each unit along thex- and y-axcs reprcsent 20.) d. Evaluate the objective function at each or the three vertices or the graphed region. e. Complete the missing portions of this statement: The company will make the greatest profit by produc.ing __ units of writing paper and __ units of newsprint each day. The maximum daily profit is$. __ _
