A biologist is developing two new strains of bacteria. Each sample of Type 1 bacteria produces four new viable bacteria, and each sample of Type II bacteria produces three new viable bacteria. Altogether, at least 240 new viable bacteria must be produced. At least 20, but not more than 60, of the original samples must by Type I. Not more than 70 of the original samples can be Type II. A sample of Type I costs $5 and a sample of Type II costs $7. How many samples of each bacteria should the biologist use to minimize the cost? What is the minimum cost?

Answers

Answer 1

The cost can be optimized by using a Linear Programming given the  linear constraint system

To minimize the cost, the biologist should use 60 samples of Type I bacteria and 0 samples of Type II bacteria

Reason:

Let X represent Type 1 bacteria, and let Y, represent Type II bacteria, we have;

The constraints are;

4·X + 3·Y ≥ 240

20 ≤ X ≤ 60

Y ≤ 70

P = 5·X + 7·Y

Solving the inequality gives;

4·X + 3·Y ≥ 240

[tex]Y \geq 80 - \dfrac{4}{3} \cdot X[/tex] (Equation for the inequality graphs)

The boundary of the feasible region are;

(20, 70)

(20, 53.[tex]\overline 3[/tex])

(60, 0)

(60, 70)

The cost are ;

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}X&Y&P= 5\times X + 7 \times Y\\20&70&590\\20&53.\overline 3&473.\overline 3\\60&0&300\\60&70&790\end{array}\right][/tex]

Therefore, the minimum cost of $300 is obtained by using 60 samples of Type I and 0 samples of Type II

I need help on the whole assignmnet but particularly this question..

Answers

Answer:

1) 62.5

2) 50

3) 75

4) 100

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Because it has a half-life of 25 days, half of it will decay after 25 days.

After [tex]25*4=100[/tex] days, there will be [tex](1/2)^{4}=1/2^{4}=1/16[/tex] of it left.

So, [tex]1000/16=\boxed{62.5}[/tex].

2)

Because it has a half-life of 25 days, half of it will decay after 25 days.

After [tex]25*3=75[/tex] days, there will be [tex](1/2)^{3}=1/2^{3}=1/8[/tex] of it left.

So, [tex]400/8=\boxed{50}[/tex]

3)

Because it has a half-life of 25 days, half of it will decay after 25 days.

After [tex]25*2=50[/tex] days, there will be [tex](1/2)^2=1/2^{2}=1/4[/tex] of it left.

So, [tex]300/4=\boxed{75}[/tex].

4)

The only answer left is [tex]\boxed{100}[/tex] grams. You can solve it the same way you solved the previous steps.

What is the length of DE
A. 18
B. 12
C. 10
D. 22

Answers

Answer:

the length of DE is A) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

these triangles are similar so you need to create a proportion!

since sides DF and FE are the same, it means that AC and CB are the same!

now we have to find the hypotenuse for DE, which is X

- set up a proportion!

side AC/side AB = side DF/side DE ----> 15/27 = 10/x

- butterfly multiply to get 15x = 270

- divide both sides by 15 to isolate x

now you get --------> x = 18!

Step-by-step explanation:

Aight so the angle of line AB equals 180 degrees. You have 36 degrees plus the right angle (90 degrees) which gets you 126 degrees. Subtract 126 from 180 and you get 54, the remaining value. So if 2x=54, then divide both sides by 2 to get x=27. that should be it

Answer:

the answer is 21.8

Substitute the value of the variable into the equation and simplify.

If x is 1.9 then the equation turns into: 2(1.9+9) so

1.9+9 = 10.9. Then since it was parentheses it will go back to: 2(10.9). If any number is in parentheses and doesn’t have a plus or minus sign in-front of it, then you multiply, So 2 times 10.9= 21.8.

Thus, If x= 1.9, Then 2(x+9)= 21.8.

One week, Sharon worked 18 hours as a lifeguard and 12 hours at a concession stand and earned $228. The next week, she earned $254 for 24 hours as a lifeguard and 8 hours at the concession stand. How much per hour does she get paid for each job?

Answers

Answer:

She is paid $6.25.hour at the concession and $8.50 as a lifeguard.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know:

18 hours as a lifeguard

12 hours at concession

Total earned = $228

18L + 12C = 228

Then:

24 hours as a lifeguard

8 hours at concession

Total earned = $254

24L + 8C = 254

Move one equation around to get one variable by itself: in this case we can solve for L:

18L + 12C = 228

18L = 228 - 12C

L = (228/18) - (12/18)C

Plug in for L:

24((228/18) - (12/18)C) + 8C = 254

Solve for C:

C = 6.25

Now that we know C, plug in value for C and solve for L:

18L + 12(6.25) = 228

L = 8.5

So she is paid $6.25.hour at the concession and $8.50 as a lifeguard.
