Question: f ( r , n ) = 0 . 3 r 2 n responses when r ads are run on the radio and n internet

f(r,n)=0.3r2n responses
when r ads are run on the radio and n internet ads are run. Check: f(10,30)=900
Each ad on the radio costs $124, and each internet ad costs $62 and the dating service has budgeted $6138 for advertising, so the advertising constraint is
g(r,n)=124r+62n=6138 dollars.
(a) Choose the system of equations that could be used to find the optimal number of responses subject to the advertising constraint.
0.6rn=
0.6rn+124=0
0.6rn=124
0.6rn=0
0.3r2=
0.3r2+62=0
0.3r2=62
0.3r2=0
124r+62n=6138
124r+62n=6138
124r+62n=6138
124r+62n=6138
You do NOT need to solve the system. The solution is provided.
The optimal point subject to the constraint was found to occur where:
r=33,n=33,=5.269, and f=10781.1.
(b) Use the close-point method to classify the optimal point.
(Do NOT round.)
The optimal point is a --- Select--- because the value of f at this point is --- Select--- the value of f at each of the nearby points on the constraint.
(c) Suppose the manager budgeted an additional $100 for advertising. Use the solution that was previously given to estimate the resulting change in the optimal value
additional responses (Round to the nearest whole number.)
