1.Do you see a situation where linear programming could be applied?

Describe it (you do not need to come up with a objective equation, constraints, etc....) in general terms

2The cost of providing public services at local hospital has been scrutinized by management. Although these services are used as marketing tools for the hospital, the cost and availability of scarce resources require their optimal allocation while minimizing costs. Two popular programs being assessed for this purpose are "Family Planning" (FP) and "Health-Drive-Screenings" (HDS); their costs to the hospital for each offering are $200 and $400, respectively. The health care manager in charge of operations found three common patterns of resource consumption for each of these services and the available resources, shown below:

Resource	FP	HDS	Available per month
Staff	60	120	480 minutes
Materials	30	90	250 kits
Rent		1	3 times

Formulate the problem as a linear programming problem
