A certain academic department at a local university will conduct a research project. The department will need to hire graduate research assistants and professional researchers. Each graduate research assistant will need to work 23 hours per week on fieldwork and 17 hours per week at the university's research center. Each professional researcher will need to work 15 hours per week on fieldwork and 25 hours per week at the university's research center. The minimum number of hours needed per week for fieldwork is 154 and the minimum number of hours needed per week at the research center is 140. Each research assistant will be paid $295 per week and each professional researcher will be paid $416 per week. Let x denote the number of graduate research assistants hired and let y denote the number of professional researcher hired. The department wants to minimize cost. Set up the Linear Programming Problem for this situation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Min C = 295x+ 416y;

Constraints (s.t):

23x+ 15y≥ 154,17x+ 25y≥ 140,x≥ 0, y≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the Objective function of the linear programming problem we need to note that we are told, "the department wants to minimize cost (weekly cost)," meaning our objective function is Min C (Cost) = 295x+ 416y. Where x≥ 0, y≥ 0.

Constraints:

Let x denote the number of graduate research assistants hired and let y denote the number of professional researchers hired.

Note these statements that form the constraints for the different types of researchers:

1. Fieldwork hours constraints:

Each graduate research assistant will need to work 23 hours per week.Each professional researcher will need to work 15 hours per week on fieldwork.

And the minimum (≥) number of hours needed per week for fieldwork is 154. Which implies this model, 23x+ 15y≥ 154.

2. University's research center hours constraints:

Each graduate research assistant will need to work 17 hours per week at the university's research center. Each professional researcher will need to work 25 hours per week at the university's research center.

And the minimum (≥) number of hours needed per week at the research center is 140. Which implies this model, 17x+ 25y≥ 140.

If 6×2 + 6y2 = 13xy, what is the ratio of x to y?

Answers

Answer:

Since 6X2 + 6Y2 = 13 xy

-- 6X2 / XY + 6Y2/XY =13

---> 6 X/Y + 6 Y/X =13

    6a + 6/a =13

--->  6a2  + 6 =13a

---> 6a2 -13a +6 =0

--->  6a2 -9a - 4a +6 =0

---> (2a-3) (3a-2) =0

2a-3 = 0

a= 3/2  

So the Ratio will be = 3:2

q(t) = (2t2 + 3)/t2
(a) q(2)


(b) q(0)


(c) q(−x)

Answers

Answer:

The function values of [tex]{q(2)}[/tex] is [tex]\bold{\dfrac{11}{4}}[/tex], [tex]q(0)[/tex] is UNDEFINED and [tex]q(-x)[/tex] is [tex]\bold{2+\dfrac{3}{x^2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

[tex]q(t)=\dfrac{2t^2+3}{t^2}[/tex]

Part (a)

Find [tex]q(2)[/tex]

Put [tex]2[/tex] for [tex]t[/tex] for finding the value of the function [tex]q(2)[/tex].

Therefore,

[tex]\begin{aligned}q(2)&=\dfrac{2\times2^2+3}{2^2}\\&=\dfrac{8+3}{4}\\&=\dfrac{11}{4}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Part (b)

Find [tex]q(0)[/tex]

Put [tex]0[/tex] for [tex]t[/tex] for finding the value of the function [tex]q(0)[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}q(0)&=\dfrac{2\times0^2+3}{0^2}\\&=\dfrac{3}{0}\\&=\infty\end{aligned}[/tex]

Part (c)

Find [tex]q(-x)[/tex]

Put [tex]-x[/tex] for [tex]t[/tex] for finding the value of the function [tex]q(-x)[/tex].

Therefore,

[tex]\begin{aligned}q(-x)&=\dfrac{2\times(-x)^2+3}{(-x)^2}\\&=\dfrac{2x^2+3}{x^2}\\&=2+\dfrac{3}{x^2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

I. The airport branch of a car rental company maintains a fleet of 50 SUVs. The interarrival time between requests for an SUV is 2.4 hours, on average, with a standard deviation of 2.4 hours. There is no indication of a systematic arrival patterns over the course of a day. Assume that, if all SUVs are rented, customers are willing to wait until there is an SUV available. An SUV is rented, on average, for 3 days, with a standard deviation of 1 day. a) What is the average number of SUVs parked in the company's lot

Answers

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

For the computation of the average number of SUVs parked in the company's lot first it is required to compute the utilization which is shown below:-

[tex]Utilization = \frac{p}{a\times m}[/tex]

where p indicates activity time which is equal to 3 days = 72 hours

a indicates an interarrival time which is equal to 2.4

m indicates the number of servers which is equal to 50

now we will put the values into the above formula

[tex]Utilization = \frac{72}{2.4\times 50}[/tex]

After solving the above equation we will get

u = 0.6

or

60%

now, the average cars parked in the company's lot is

[tex]Average\ cars = 50 - 60\%\times 50[/tex]

= 50 - 30

= 20

What does x equal in this equation x= .49x^2

Answers

Answer:

x=0, 2.04 (2dp)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming is it 0.49, our equation currently looks like this:

x = 0.49x^2

The first step is to move all x terms to one side which we can se by subtracting an x from both sides.

x - x=0.49x^2 - x

0 = 0.49x^2 - x

Now we can factorize by pulling out the x, which is a common factor:

0=x(0.49x-1)

We can now see that one of the solutions is x = 0, because anything in the brackets multiplied by 0 is 0.

To find the other solution we can divide both sides by x and solve:

0/x=x(0.49x - 1)/x

0=0.49x-1

1=0.49x

Now we just divide both sides by 0.49 to get our second answer!

1/0.49=0.49x/0.49

2.04=x

x = 0, 2.04 (2dp)

Lillian earned $397.50 at her job when she worked for 25 hours. What was her hourly wage, in dollars per hour? On the double number line below, fill in the given values, then use multiplication or division to find the missing value.

Answers

Answer:

$15.9

Step-by-step explanation:

$397.5 = 25 hour

=> x dollars = 1 hour

=> 397.5 * 1 = 25 * x

=> 397.5 = 25x

=> 397.5/25 = 25x/25

=> 15.9 = x

So, for 1 hour he earns $15.9

Are these ratios equivalent?

3 medium cars to 1 small car

18 medium cars to 6 small cars

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

3 medium cars to 1 small car can be made into a fraction like this: [tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]. But you must be consistent if the denominator represents medium cars or small cars.

For this, I'm just going to make medium cars the numerator.

18 medium cars to 6 cars can be made into a fraction like this : [tex]\frac{18}{6}[/tex].

When you divide both fractions in a calculator (or in your head), you will realize that they both are the same value (equivalent).

[tex]\frac{3}{1}=\frac{18}{6} = 3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{18} = .3333333[/tex]

These ratios are equivalent.
