The following linear programming problem has been written to plan the production of two products. The company wants to maximize its profits. X1= number of product 1 produced X2= number of product 2 produced
Max 250x1+150x2
S.t 3x1+7x2<=175: resource 1
2x1+5x2<=200: resource 2
x1,x2>=0
1) How many units of resource 1 are consumed by each unit of product 1 produced? (2 points)
2)2) How many units of resource two (the second constraint) are unutilized if the company produces 10 units of product 1 and 5 units of product 2?(2 points)
3) How much profit is earned if the company produces 10 units of product 1 and 5 units of product 2?(3 points)
4) A company uses 4 pounds of resource 3 to make each unit of X1 and 3 pounds of resource 3 to make each unit of X2. There are only 150 pounds of resource 3 available. Write the constraint that reflects the relationship between X1, X2 and resource 3.(5 points)
