What kinds of problems are solved using the linear programming method?
Harsh, mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses account for more than half the population in U.S. federal prisons. The bar graph shows the number of inmates in federal prisons, in thousands, for drug offenses and all other crimes in 1998 and 2010. (Other crimes include murder, robbery, fraud, burglary, weapons offenses, immigration offenses, racketeering, and perjury.) a. In 1998, there were 60 thousand inmates in federal prisons for drug offenses. For the period shown by the graph, this number increased by approximately 2.8 thousand inmates per year. Write a function that models the number of inmates, y, in thousands, for drug offenses x years after 1998. b. In 1998, there were 44 thousand inmates in federal prisons for all crimes other than drug offenses. For the period shown by the graph, this number increased by approximately 3.8 thousand inmates per year. Write a function that models the number of inmates, y, in thousands, for all crimes other than drug offenses x years after 1998. c. Use the models from parts (a) and (b) to determine in which year the number of federal inmates for drug offenses was the same as the number of federal inmates for all other crimes. How many inmates were there for drug offenses and for all other crimes in that year?
determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. Find the partial fraction decomposition of $$\frac{4 x^{2}+5 x-9}{x^{3}-6 x-9}$$
Determine the amplitude, period, and phase shift of \(y=-2 \cos \left(2 x-\frac{\pi}{2}\right) .\) Then graph one period of the function. (Section 5.5, Example 6)
A television manufacturer makes rear-projection and plasma televisions. The profit per unit is 125 for the rear-projection televisions and 200 for the plasma televisions. a. Let \(x=\) the number of rear-projection televisions manufactured in a month and let \(y=\) the number of plasma televisions manufactured in a month. Write the objective function that models the total monthly profit. b. The manufacturer is bound by the following constraints: \(\cdot\) Equipment in the factory allows for making at most 450 rear-projection televisions in one month. \(\cdot\) Equipment in the factory allows for making at most 200 plasma televisions in one month. \(\cdot\) The cost to the manufacturer per unit is 600 for the rear-projection televisions and 900 for the plasma televisions. Total monthly costs cannot exceed 360,000. Write a system of three inequalities that models these constraints. c. Graph the system of inequalities in part (b). Use only the first quadrant and its boundary, because \(x\) and \(y\) must both be nonnegative. d. Evaluate the objective function for total monthly profit at each of the five vertices of the graphed region. [The vertices should occur at \((0,0),(0,200),(300,200)\) \((450,100), \text { and }(450,0) .]\) e. Complete the missing portions of this statement: The television manufacturer will make the greatest profit by manufacturing _____ rear- projection televisions each month and _____ \(-\) plasma televisions each month. The maximum monthly profit is $_____.
